BRN Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: one speaks peaceably to his neighbour, but in himself retains enmity.
BrLXX Βολὶς τιτρώσκουσα ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν, δόλια τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν· τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ λαλεῖ εἰρηνικὰ, καὶ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔχει τὴν ἔχθραν.

(Some words not found in UHB: arrow deadly tongue,their deceit speaks in/on/at/with,mouth,his peace DOM his/its=neighbour speaks and,in/on/at/with,heart,his sets_up ambush,him )
Yahweh speaks of testing the people and dealing with their evil ways, as if they were metal that he were melting in a crucible to remove its impurities.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) for what else can I do, because of what my people have done?
(Some words not found in UHB: arrow deadly tongue,their deceit speaks in/on/at/with,mouth,his peace DOM his/its=neighbour speaks and,in/on/at/with,heart,his sets_up ambush,him )
Yahweh uses this rhetorical question to state that this is how he needs to deal with his people because of what they have done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “for this is how I must deal with my people because of what they have done.”
