Psalm 12:2

New International Version

²Everyone lies^(A) to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.^(B)

Jeremiah 9:3-5

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)
⁵Friend deceives friend,^(G)
    and no one speaks the truth.^(H)
They have taught their tongues to lie;^(I)
    they weary themselves with sinning.
