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!
