Jeremiah 9:8 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

An arrow shot out. — Better, an arrow that pierceth, or slayeth.

In heart. — More literally, inwardly.

Jeremiah 9:8

8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heartc he layeth his wait.
