2 Euery one vseth vayne talke with his neyghbour: and speaketh with a double heart out of flatteryng lippes. 3 God wyll cut away all flatteryng lippes: and the tongue that speaketh great thinges. 4 Whiche say, we wyll preuayle with our tongue: our lippes are our owne, who is Lorde ouer vs? 5 For the calamities of the oppressed, for the deepe sighyng of the poore, I wyll nowe vp sayeth God: and I wyll put in safetie, hym whom the wicked hath snared. 6 The wordes of God be wordes pure, as the siluer tryed in a furnace of earth: and purified seuen times. 7 Wherfore thou wylt kepe the godly, O God: thou wylt preserue euery one of them from this generation for euer. 8 The vngodly walke on euery side: when the worst sort be exalted amongst the chyldren of men.
