And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the daughter of my people!
A lodging place for travelers;
That I might leave my people,
And go from them!
For athey are all adulterers,
An assembly of treacherous men.
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 8:22 | Jeremiah 9:2 >> |
