Commentary on Jeremiah 9:5

Theological / Devotional

Will deceive. The people of Jeremiah’s day deceived not only their avowed enemies but their friends.

Taught their tongue. An intimation of the unnaturalness of their evil. The tongue must be trained in expertness at lying.

Weary themselves. Their ability to do evil is exceeded by their will and desire for it.
