24:008:021 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am
black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
24:008:022 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why
then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
24:009:001 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of
tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the
daughter of my people!
24:009:002 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring
men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they
be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
24:009:003 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they
are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed
from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
24:009:004 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in
any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and
every neighbour will walk with slanders.
24:009:005 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not
speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies,
and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
24:009:006 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
24:009:007 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt
them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my
people?
24:009:008 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.
