Jeremiah 9:3-8 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies : but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth ; for they proceed from evil to evil , and they know not me, saith the LORD.

3 H1869 And they bend [H8686] H3956 their tongues H7198 like their bow H8267 for lies H1396 : but they are not valiant [H8804] H530 for the truth H776 upon the earth H3318 ; for they proceed [H8804] H7451 from evil H7451 to evil H3045 , and they know [H8804] H5002 not me, saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD.

4 H8104 Take ye heed [H8734] H376 every one H7453 of his neighbour H982 , and trust [H8799] H251 ye not in any brother H251 : for every brother H6117 will utterly [H8800] H6117 supplant [H8799] H7453 , and every neighbour H1980 will walk [H8799] H7400 with slanders.

5 H2048 And they will deceive [H8762] H376 every one H7453 his neighbour H1696 , and will not speak [H8762] H571 the truth H3925 : they have taught [H8765] H3956 their tongue H1696 to speak [H8763] H8267 lies H3811 , and weary [H8738] H5753 themselves to commit iniquity [H8687] .

6 H3427 Thine habitation [H8800] H8432 is in the midst H4820 of deceit H4820 ; through deceit H3985 they refuse [H8765] H3045 to know [H8800] H5002 me, saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD.

7 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H6884 , Behold, I will melt [H8802] H974 them, and try [H8804] H6213 them; for how shall I do [H8799] H6440 for H1323 the daughter H5971 of my people?

8 H3956 Their tongue H2671 is as an arrow H7819 shot out [H8803] H1696 ; it speaketh [H8765] H4820 deceit H1696 : one speaketh [H8762] H7965 peaceably H7453 to his neighbour H6310 with his mouth H7130 , but in heart H7760 he layeth [H8799] H696 his wait.
