Jeremiah 9:3-5

Common English Bible

³ They bend their tongues like bows
        to spew out lies;
    they are renowned in the land,
        but not for truth.
They go from bad to worse.
    They don’t know me!
        declares the Lord.
⁴ Be wary of your friends!
    Don’t trust your sibling!^[a]
    Every sibling is a cheater,
        and every friend traffics in slander.
⁵ One cheats the other;
    no one tells the truth;
        they train themselves to lie;
        they wear themselves out by doing wrong.
