4. Take heed each one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
5. And they will deceive each one his neighbour and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
7. Therefore thus hath the Lord of the hosts said, Behold, I will melt them and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8. Their tongue is as a sharp arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth but in heart he lays in wait.
