those who say,“ By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us— who is lord over us?”

They say,“ What we speak with our tongues will win the battle. What we say with our lips will keep us safe. No one will have victory over us.”

those who say,“ With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

They say,“ We will lie to our hearts’ content. Our lips are our own— who can stop us?”

They say,“ Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own— who can be our master?”

Who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

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 an oracle from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”

Evil generation, pay attention to the word of the Lord! Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do My people claim,“ We will go where we want; we will no longer come to You”?

Now if you’re ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I made.
