Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me,
says the LORD.
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 9:6 Go To Jeremiah 9
John Cassian
AD 435
“For every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully. And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth, for they have bent their tongue like a bow for lies and not for truth.” But often a pretended patience excites to anger more keenly than words, and a spiteful silence exceeds the most awful insults in words. The wounds of enemies are more easily borne than the deceitful blandishment of mockers, as is well said by the prophet.
