Jeremiah 9:8


Jeremiah 9:7 Jeremiah 9:8 (KJV) Jeremiah 9:9
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
Their tongue [is as] an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: [one] speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
