Jeremiah 8:3-5
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family (nation), who remain in all the places to which I have driven them, says the Lord of hosts.
4 Moreover, you [Jeremiah] shall say to them, Thus says the Lord: Shall men fall and not rise up again? Shall one turn away [from God] and not repent and return [to Him]?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem turned away with a perpetual turning away [from Me]? They hold fast to [a]deceit (idolatry); they refuse to repent and return [to God].

- Jeremiah 8:5 Idolatry is deceitful and false because in their idolatry men and women worship what is false, and it merely deludes the worshipers and causes them to believe a lie.
