Jeremiah 9:3-5

International Standard Version

³ They use their tongues like a bow.
    Lies rather than truth fly throughout^[a] the land.
They progress from one evil to another,
    and they don’t know me,”
        declares the Lord.
⁴ “Beware of your neighbors, and don’t trust
    any of your relatives.
For all of your relatives act deceitfully,
    and every friend goes around as a slanderer.
⁵ People deceive their friends,
    and they don’t tell the truth.
They have taught their tongues to tell lies.
    They exhaust themselves practicing evil.^[b]
