Psalms 12:2-5 ▼

2 They speak worthlessness to one another; With a flattering lip and with a double heart they speak.

3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;

4 Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

5 “Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
