They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

His flattery has been with forked tongue, and war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

and they said to Jeremiah the prophet, Please let us prostrate our supplication to you, and intercede for us to Jehovah your God, even for all this remnant, (for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes behold us),

that Jehovah your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men.
