Jeremiah 9:2-4

New American Standard Bible

^2 [a](A)Oh that I had in the desert
A travelers’ lodging place;
So that I might leave my people
And go away from them!
For all of them are ^(B)adulterers,
An assembly of ^(C)treacherous people.
³ “They ^(D)bend their tongues like their bows;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they ^(E)proceed from evil to evil,
And they ^(F)do not know Me,” declares the Lord.
⁴ “Let everyone ^(G)be on guard against his neighbor,
And ^(H)do not trust any brother;
Because every ^(I)brother utterly ^[b]betrays,
And every neighbor ^(J)goes about as a slanderer.
