Jeremiah 9:2-4

International Standard Version

² Oh, that I had a lodging place for travelers in the desert,
    so that I could leave my people
        and go away from them.
For all of them are adulterers,
    a band of traitors.
³ They use their tongues like a bow.
    Lies rather than truth fly throughout^[a] the land.
They progress from one evil to another,
    and they don’t know me,”
        declares the Lord.
⁴ “Beware of your neighbors, and don’t trust
    any of your relatives.
For all of your relatives act deceitfully,
    and every friend goes around as a slanderer.
