Jeremías 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:5

And they will deceive everyone his neighbour
In conversation, with lying words; and in trade and commerce, by art and tricking: and will not speak the truth;
with respect to facts they report, or goods they sell: they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
and become so accustomed to lying that they cannot do otherwise; it is as it were natural to them: and weary themselves to commit iniquity;
spared no pains to come at it, nor any in it, and go on even to weariness; are more laborious and indefatigable in committing sin than good men are in doing good; which shows great folly and stupidity. The Targum is,

``they are become foolish, they have erred.''

4 Guárdese cada uno de su prójimo, y no confíe en ningún hermano; porque todo hermano obra con engaño, y todo prójimo anda calumniando.
5 Cada uno engaña a su prójimo, y no habla la verdad, han enseñado sus lenguas a hablar mentiras; se afanan por cometer iniquidad.
6 Tu morada está en medio del engaño; por causa del engaño rehúsan conocermedeclara el SEÑOR.
7 Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos: He aquí, los refinaré y los probaré, porque ¿qué más puedo hacer con la hija de mi pueblo?
