Jeremiah 9:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Everyone cheats his neighbor.
No one speaks the truth.
My people train their tongues to speak lies.
They wear themselves out doing wrong.
⁶ Oppression follows oppression.^[a]
Deceit follows deceit.
They refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.

I will now refine them with fire and test them.
What else can I do for my dear people?
