Jeremiah 9:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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?(A)
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.(B)
9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord,
and shall I not bring retribution
on a nation such as this?(C)

Jeremiah 9:7-9
New International Version
7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will refine(A) and test(B) them,
for what else can I do
because of the sin of my people?
8 Their tongue(C) is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,(D)
but in their hearts they set traps(E) for them.(F)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(G) myself
on such a nation as this?”
