⁵ He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

⁵ For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;

¹⁷ Our eyes do yet fail `in looking' for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

⁵ A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps.

¹⁹ He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.

² They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

³ Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;

²¹ Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

²² For I know not to give flattering titles; `Else' would my Maker soon take me away.

¹² Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

⁶⁵ And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot: but Jehovah will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,
