Jeremiah 9:8-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁸ Their tongues are deadly arrows –
they speak deception.^(A)
With his mouth
one speaks peaceably with his friend,
but inwardly he sets up an ambush.
⁹ Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Should I not avenge myself^(B)
on such a nation as this?
