You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah, you live among people who tell lies. When they lie, they refuse to pay any attention to me,” announces the Lord.

Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit, they refuse to know me, declares the Lord.

They pile lie upon lie and utterly refuse to acknowledge me,” says the Lord.

Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” declares the Lord.

Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.

Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.

You live in a world of deception. In their deception they refuse to know Me. This is the Lord’s declaration.

Thine habitation[ is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says Yahweh.

Since I called out and you refused, extended my hand and no one paid attention,

This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.For everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

Because they hated knowledge, didn’t choose to fear the LORD,

for I was like a docile lamb led to slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me:“ Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit; let’s cut him off from the land of the living so that his name will no longer be remembered.”

These evil people, who refuse to listen to me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and bow in worship— they will be like this underwear, of no use at all.

Yet they say to God,“ Leave us alone! We don’t want to know your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him, and what will we gain by pleading with him?”

Why have these people turned away? Why is Jerusalem always turning away? They take hold of deceit; they refuse to return.

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right.

Come to your senses and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.

Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have grown powerful and rich.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from serving as my priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your sons.

For I have heard the gossip of many people,“ Terror is on every side! Report him; let’s report him!” Everyone I trusted watches for my fall.“ Perhaps he will be deceived so that we might prevail against him and take our vengeance on him.”

Then certain ones said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or a word from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”

“ LORD, rescue me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.”What will he give you, and what will he do to you, you deceitful tongue?A warrior’s sharp arrows with burning charcoal!What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!I have dwelt too long with those who hate peace.
