Jeremiah 9:6
Berean Standard Bible
You dwell * in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to know Me,” declares the LORD.
Context
4“Let everyone guard against his neighbor;
do not trust any brother,
for every brother deals craftily,
and every friend spreads slander. 5Each one betrays his friend;
no one tells the truth.
They have taught their tongues to lie;
they wear themselves out committing iniquity. 6You dwell * in the midst of deception;
in their deceit they refuse to know Me,”
declares the LORD. 7Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says:
“Behold, I will refine them and test them,
for what else can I do
because of * the daughter of My people? 8Their tongues are deadly arrows;
they speak deception.
With his mouth a man speaks peace to his neighbor,
but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
