3. Be on your guard, everyone against his neighbor;put no trust in any brother.Every brother imitates Jacob, the supplanter,every neighbor is guilty of slander.
4. Each one deceives the other,no one speaks the truth.They have accustomed their tongues to lying,they are perverse and cannot repent.
5. Violence upon violence,deceit upon deceit:They refuse to know me—oracle of the Lord.
6. Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts:I will refine them and test them;how else should I deal with the daughter of my people?
7. A murderous arrow is their tongue,their mouths utter deceit;They speak peaceably with their neighbors,but in their hearts they lay an ambush!
