Jeremiah 9:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

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?

¹⁰ Upon the mountains I will lift up weeping and wailing and lamentation upon the habitations of the wilderness because they are burned up, so that no one can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and even the beasts of the earth are fled; they are gone.
