Jeremiah 9:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ Therefore thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, Behold, I will melt them and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

⁸ Their tongue is as a sharp arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth but in heart he lays in wait.

⁹ Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
