Jeremiah 9:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 9:5

3 “And like their bow ^athey have bent their tongues for lies.
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.

4 “Everyone^a take heed to his neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will ^bwalk with slanderers.

5 Everyone will ^adeceive his neighbor,
And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.

6 Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.

7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, ^aI will refine them and try them;
^bFor how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?

8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks ^adeceit;
One speaks ^bpeaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But¹ in his heart he lies in wait.
