They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
For they proceed from bevil to evil,
And they cdo not know Me,” says the Lord.
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will bwalk with slanderers.
And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.
“Behold, aI will refine them and try them;
bFor how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
It speaks adeceit;
One speaks bpeaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But1 in his heart he lies in wait.

Jeremiah 9:5
And weary themselves to commit iniquity - O, what a drudgery is sin! and how much labor must a man take in order to get to hell! The tenth part of it, in working together with God, would bring him to the gate of glory.
| << Jeremiah 9:4 | Jeremiah 9:6 >> |
