"Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?"
Jeremiah 9:7

In context

5And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, weary themselves to commit iniquity.

6Thine habitation in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

7Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

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

9Shall I not visit them for these ? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
