Jeremiah 9:4-9 Each of his friend—beware ye, And on any brother, do not trust, For every brother doth utterly supplant, For every friend slanderously doth walk,

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Each of his friend—beware ye, And on any brother, do not trust, For every brother doth utterly supplant, For every friend slanderously doth walk, ⁵ And each at his friend they mock, And truth they do not speak, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, To commit iniquity they have laboured. ⁶ thy dwelling is in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. ⁷ Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I do because of the daughter of My people? ⁸ A slaughtering arrow is their tongue, Deceit it hath spoken in its mouth, Peace with its neighbour it speaketh, And in its heart it layeth its ambush, ⁹ For these things do not I see after them? An affirmation of Jehovah, Against a nation such as this doth not My soul avenge itself?
