 3And they bend their tongue, their bow of falsehood, and not for fidelity are they valiant in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.
 4Take ye heed every one of his friend, and confide not in any brother; for every brother only supplanteth, and every friend goeth about with slander.
 5And they act deceitfully every one with his neighbour, and speak not the truth: they teach their tongue to speak falsehood, they weary themselves with perverse dealing.
 6Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.
 7Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else could I do for the daughter of my people?
 8Their tongue is a murderous arrow; it speaketh deceit. A man speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth his ambush.

 3For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak lies, your tongue muttereth unrighteousness:
 4none calleth for justice, none pleadeth in truthfulness. They trust in vanity, and speak falsehood; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
 5They hatch serpents' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
 6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
 7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths;
 8the way of peace they know not, and there is no judgment in their goings; they have made their paths crooked: whoso goeth therein knoweth not peace. (Isa. 59:1‑8)

 12hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination,

 17But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,
 18and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
 19and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
 20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:
 21thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?
 22thou that sayest man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
 23thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?
 24For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.
 25For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep the law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
 26If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,
 27and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, art a law-transgressor?
 28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;
 29but he is a Jew who is so inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Rom. 2:2,17‑29)
