In context
1Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
— Jeremiah 9:2 —
3Beware ye each of his neighbor, and trust ye not in your brethren: for everyone will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
4Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
