Jeremiah 9:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “Their tongue is as an arrow shot out and speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth. But in his heart, he lays in wait for him.

⁹ “Shall I not reckon with them for these things?” says the LORD. “Or shall My Soul not be avenged on such a nation as this?

¹⁰ “Upon the mountains will I take up a weeping and a lamentation, and upon the fair places of the wilderness a mourning, because they are burnt up, so that no one can pass through them, nor can men hear the voice of the flock. Both the bird of the air and the beast have fled away, gone.
