Geremia 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.''

Geremia 9:5 In-Context

3 Tendono la lingua, ch’è il loro arco, per scoccar menzogne; son diventati potenti nel paese, ma non per agir con fedeltà; poiché procedono di malvagità in malvagità, e non conoscono me, dice l’Eterno.
4 Si guardi ciascuno dal suo amico, e nessuno si fidi del suo fratello; poiché ogni fratello non fa che ingannare, ed ogni amico va spargendo calunnie.
5 L’uno gabba l’altro, e non dice la verità, esercitano la loro lingua a mentire, s’affannano a fare il male.
6 La tua dimora è la malafede; ed è per malafede che costoro rifiutano di conoscermi, dice l’Eterno.
7 Perciò, così parla l’Eterno degli eserciti: Ecco, io li fonderò nel crogiuolo per saggiarli; poiché che altro farei riguardo alla figliuola del mio popolo?
