Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 8 is found in chapter 9 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah longs to withdraw from his people because lies and violence dominate the community. The tongue becomes an instrument of deception and family relationships deteriorate. The devastation of Judah appears as the consequence of a culture in which truth has been replaced by falsehood.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
