3. ‘They make ready their tonguelike a bow, to shoot lies;it is not by truththat they triumph in the land.They go from one sin to another;they do not acknowledge me,’declares the Lord.
4. ‘Beware of your friends;do not trust anyone in your clan.For every one of them is a deceiver,and every friend a slanderer.
5. Friend deceives friend,and no one speaks the truth.They have taught their tongues to lie;they weary themselves with sinning.
