Jeremiah 9:5
And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
KJV
Et vir fratrem suum deridebit, et veritatem non loquentur : docuerunt enim linguam suam loqui mendacium ; ut inique agerent laboraverunt.
Vulgate
ἕκαστος κατὰ τοῦ φίλου αὐτοῦ καταπαίξεται, ἀλήθειαν οὐ μὴ λαλήσωσιν· μεμάθηκεν ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν λαλεῖν ψευδῆ, ἠδίκησαν καὶ οὐ διέλιπον τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι.
LXX
And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
