Jeremiah 42:20

dissembled in your hearts—rather, "ye have used deceit against your (own) souls." It is not God, but yourselves, whom ye deceive, to your own ruin, by your own dissimulation (Galatians 6:7) [CALVIN]. But the words following accord best with English Version, ye have dissembled in your hearts (see on Jeremiah 42:3) towards me, when ye sent me to consult God for you.
