2 People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive. 3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts! 4 They say, |We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?| 5 |Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action,| says the LORD. |I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.| Psalms 12:2-5, New English Translation.
