Jeremiah 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ “Watch your friends.
    Don’t trust your own brothers.
This is because every brother is a cheater.
    And every friend tells lies about you.
⁵ Everyone lies to his friend.
    No one speaks the truth.
The people of Judah have taught their tongues to lie.
    They become tired from sinning.
⁶ Jeremiah, you live in the middle of evil.
    And lies follow lies.
The people have refused to know me,” says the Lord.
