Jeremiah 9:6

A Nation Characterized By Deceit

⁵ And they act deceitfully every one with his neighbour, and speak not the truth: they teach their tongue to speak falsehood, they weary themselves with perverse dealing. ⁶ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah. ⁷ Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else could I do for the daughter of my people?
