Jeremiah 9:8-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Their tongue is a murderous arrow, it speaks deceit. With his mouth he speaks peace with his neighbor, but in his inner parts he sets up his ambush.

9. Because of these things shall I not punish them?” declares Yahweh, “On a nation that is like this shall I not take revenge?

10. For the mountains I lift up weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the desert a lament, because they are laid waste so that no man passes through. And the sounds of cattle are not heard, from the birds of heaven to the animals they have fled, they are gone.
