Paul's Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference — going word-by-word through Scripture to reclaim the Ancient Near East context, romance, and mystery that modern translations often leave behind.

Only about 3% of people around the world who start the Bible ever finish it. The 3% Club is for those ready to break that cycle — reading the entire Bible at their own pace, backed by community and tools built to make finishing not just possible, but inevitable. You also get a certificate to celebrate your achievement.

Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.

Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.

Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

Jeremiah 9:5 Overview & Translations

יִרְמְיָהוּ

Late Pre-Exilic

Jeremiah 9:5

Translations

F.O.G.MPrimary

F.O.G Message

They lie to one another without shame; truth has no place among them. They have drilled their tongues in deception until the sheer effort of sinning has worn them out.

F.O.GSecondary

The F.O.G

Each man deceives his neighbour, and truth is not spoken; they have trained their tongues to tell lies — they exhaust themselves with wrongdoing.

KJV

King James Version

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.

BSB

Berean Standard Bible

Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they wear themselves out committing iniquity.

Footnotes

*Limmedu* (לִמְּדוּ, "they have trained/taught") is instructional vocabulary — the same root as *Torah* (תּוֹרָה, "teaching/instruction"). The irony is cutting: while Torah is meant to train the tongue in truth, this people have instead disciplined themselves in lies with the same rigour. *Nil'u* (נִלְאוּ, "they are weary/exhausted") implies that sustained wickedness is toilsome — sin is not effortless pleasure but draining labour. FOG: "exhaust themselves"; FOG Message: "worn them out."
