do not trust anyone in your clan.(B)
For every one of them is a deceiver,[a](C)
and every friend a slanderer.(D)
5 Friend deceives friend,(E)
and no one speaks the truth.(F)
They have taught their tongues to lie;(G)
they weary themselves with sinning.
6 You[b] live in the midst of deception;(H)
in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,”
declares the Lord.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:

Jeremiah 9:4-8
King James Version
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
