Notes Today in Jeremiah 9

Jeremiah 9:3 - And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

The source of the name in John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress" of Mr. Valiant-for-truth, who died a death worthy of his name.

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.

"Weary themselves to commit iniquity" notable cross references: Genesis 19:11, Proverbs 4:16, Habakkuk 2:13.
