Jeremiah 9:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.

⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?

⁸ Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
