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.
Cada uno engaña a su prójimo y se niega a decir la verdad. Se han entrenado tanto en mentir que se agotan haciendo el mal.
La gente se ha vuelto tan experta en el engaño y la mentira que se desgasta a sí misma practicando la maldad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Jeremiah, the prophet is addressing the people of Judah during a time of widespread corruption and idolatry in the 7th century BC, as the nation faced threats from foreign powers like Babylon. Jeremiah warns that the society's leaders and people were engaging in deceit and lies as a reflection of their unfaithfulness to God's covenant, which was meant to guide their moral and social interactions. This verse is part of a larger lament that highlights how such behaviors contributed to divine judgment and eventual exile.
