Jeremiah 9:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Be wary of your friends!
    Don’t trust your sibling!^[a]
    Every sibling is a cheater,
        and every friend traffics in slander.
⁵ One cheats the other;
    no one tells the truth;
        they train themselves to lie;
        they wear themselves out by doing wrong.
⁶ You live in a world of deceit,
    and in their deceit
    they refuse to know me,^[b]
        declares the Lord.
