Jeremiah 9:7-9

The Voice

Eternal One: Watch, I will refine this nation and put them to the test.
        What else can I do with My people?
⁸     Their tongues are like deadly arrows;
        they speak such lies;
    Each one leads his neighbor with kind words
        into a trap that was already set.
⁹     Should I not punish them for what they do?
        Should I not repay a nation that acts this way?
