Your tongue has muttered perversity.

Jeremiah 9:3-8
New International Version
3 “They make ready their tongue
like a bow, to shoot lies;(A)
it is not by truth
that they triumph[a] in the land.
They go from one sin to another;
they do not acknowledge(B) me,”
declares the Lord.
4 “Beware of your friends;(C)
do not trust anyone in your clan.(D)
For every one of them is a deceiver,[b](E)
and every friend a slanderer.(F)
5 Friend deceives friend,(G)
and no one speaks the truth.(H)
They have taught their tongues to lie;(I)
they weary themselves with sinning.
6 You[c] live in the midst of deception;(J)
in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,”
declares the Lord.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:

Jeremiah 9:3-8
New King James Version
3 “And like their bow (A)they have bent their tongues for lies.
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
For they proceed from (B)evil to evil,
And they (C)do not know Me,” says the Lord.
4 “Everyone(D) take heed to his [a]neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will (E)walk with slanderers.
5 Everyone will (F)deceive 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, (G)I will refine them and [b]try them;
(H)For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks (I)deceit;
One speaks (J)peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But [c]in his heart he [d]lies in wait.
