7Let everyone beware of his neighbor, and put no trust in any brother, for every 8brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor 9goes about as a slanderer.

6
Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit, 10they refuse to know me, declares the LORD.

Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: "Behold, 11I will refine them and 12test them, for what else can I do, 13because of my people?
8
14Their tongue is a deadly arrow; 15it speaks deceitfully; with his mouth 16each speaks peace to his neighbor, but in his heart 17he plans an ambush for him.
9
18Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?
