Oppression upon oppression, deceit[a] upon deceit!
    They refuse to know me, says the Lord.

Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts:

    for what else can I do with my sinful people?[b]
Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
    it speaks deceit through the mouth.
They all speak friendly words to their neighbours,
    but inwardly are planning to lay an ambush.
