For brothers are all very Jacobs,
And friends gad about to defame.
Every one cheateth his neighbour, 5
They cannot speak truth.
Their tongues they have trained to falsehood,
They strain to be naughty—
Wrong upon wrong, deceit on deceit(?) 6
Refusing to know Me.[395]
Therefore thus saith the Lord:[396] 7
Lo, I will smelt them, will test them.
