Jeremiah 9:6-8

Jeremiah 9:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
6 Oppression upon oppression, deceit[a] upon deceit!
They refuse to know me, says the Lord.
7 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts:
I will now refine and test them,
for what else can I do with my sinful people?[b]
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceit through the mouth.
They all speak friendly words to their neighbours,
but inwardly are planning to lay an ambush.
