Jeremiah 9:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

6 Oppression upon oppression, deceit[a] upon deceit!
    They refuse to know me, says the Lord.(A)

7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
I will now refine and test them,
    for what else can I do with the daughter of my people?(B)
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
    it speaks deceit through the mouth.
They all speak friendly words to their neighbors
    but inwardly are planning to lay an ambush.(C)
