Jeremiah 9:7-9

⁷Therefore this is what the Lord of armies says:

“Behold, I will refine them and put them to the test;

For what else can I do, because of the daughter of My people?

8“Their tongue is a deadly arrow;

It speaks deceit;

With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor,

But inwardly he sets an ambush for him.

9“Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the Lord.

“Shall I not avenge Myself

On a nation such as this?
