Jeremiah 9:7
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore 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?
Context
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. 9Should I not punish them for these things?
declares the LORD.
Should I not avenge Myself
on such a nation as this?”
