Jeremiah 9:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ “Watch out for your friends,
    and don’t trust your own relatives,
because every relative is a cheater,
    and every friend tells lies about you.
⁵ Everyone lies to his friend,
    and no one speaks the truth.
The people of Judah have taught their tongues to lie.
    They have become tired from sinning.
⁶ Jeremiah, you live in the middle of lies.
    With their lies the people refuse to know me,” says the Lord.
