For My people are foolish; they have not known Me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

You who hate good and love evil, who tear their skin off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

who change the truth of God into the lie, and fear and serve the created things more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. But they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Jehovah.

And everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

You are of the devil as your father, and the lusts of your father you purpose to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and prostitutes and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and produces a lie.
