Jeremiah 9:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵They all deceive their neighbours,
    and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongues to speak lies;
    they commit iniquity and are too weary to repent.^[a]
⁶Oppression upon oppression, deceit^[b] upon deceit!
    They refuse to know me, says the Lord.

⁷Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts:
I will now refine and test them,
for what else can I do with my sinful people?^[c]
