3“They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph Or lies; / they are not valiant for truth 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, Or a deceiving Jacob and every friend a slanderer.
5Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning.
