2 Vanity they speak, each man with his neighbor; with lips of flattery with a double heart they speak. 3 May YHWH cut off all lips of flattery, a tongue speaking great things— 4 those who have said, “By our tongues we will prevail; our lips are with us; who is lord over us?” 5 “From the oppression of the poor, from the groaning of the needy, now I shall arise,” says YHWH. “I will set in safety him who breathes for it.” 6 The words of YHWH are pure words, silver refined in a furnace of earth, purified sevenfold. 7 You, O YHWH, shall keep them; You will guard them from this generation forever. 8 On every side the wicked walk, as vileness is exalted by the sons of man. Psalms 12:2-8, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
