4. “Everyone take heed to his neighbor,And do not trust any brother;For every brother will utterly supplant,And every neighbor will walk with slanderers.
5. Everyone will deceive his neighbor,And will not speak the truth;They have taught their tongue to speak lies;They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6. Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit;Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.
7. Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:“Behold, I will refine them and try them;For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
8. Their tongue is an arrow shot out;It speaks deceit;One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,But in his heart he lies in wait.
