TRUST Jeremiah 9:4-6

"Beware of your friends; do not trust anyone in your clan. For every one of them is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer. Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning. You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares the LORD.

Isaiah 59:15  Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

They have taught their tongues to lie 
Psalm 52:3  You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.

You live in the midst of deception 
Jeremiah 5:27  Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful ...
