Jeremiah 9:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

^6 (7) “Therefore,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot,
“I will refine them and test them.
What else can I do with the daughter of my people?
^7 (8) Their tongues are sharpened arrows;
with their mouths they speak deceit —
they say nice words to their neighbors,
while inwardly plotting against them.
^8 (9) Should I not punish them for these things?” asks Adonai.
“Should I not take vengeance on such a nation?”
