Jeremiah 9:6

This God speaks to the prophet, either to inform him that there is no hope of this people's reformation, Jeremiah 8:5; therefore he expresseth a deceitful people by the abstract, deceit, i.e. nothing among them but deceit one to another, and hypocrisy towards me, as Psalms 109:2, and vanity for vain men, Job 35:13; or to caution and advise him how to behave himself among such a people, that he be very wary he be not insnared by them, Jeremiah 12:6. They refuse to know me; either hoping to shift well enough by their several means they think to use, they are careless of turning to me, Jeremiah 8:5; or by hearkening to their false prophets, who have all along deceived them, they obstinately reject my ways and counsels, Psalms 36:1 82:5.
