⁶ So Delilah said to Samson, Make clear to me now what is the secret of your great strength, and how you may be put in bands and made feeble.

² Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.

²⁶ For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.

²¹ With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips.

¹⁴ The mouth of strange women is a deep hole: he with whom the Lord is angry will go down into it.

²⁸ A false tongue has hate for those who have clean hearts, and a smooth mouth is a cause of falling.

² If only I had in the waste land a night's resting-place for travellers, so that I might go away, far from my people! for they are all untrue, a band of false men.

³ Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.

⁴ Let everyone keep watch on his neighbour, and put no faith in any brother: for every brother will certainly be tricking his brother, and every neighbour will go about saying evil.

⁵ Everyone will make sport of his neighbour with deceit, not saying what is true: their tongues have been trained to say false words; they are twisted, hating to come back.

² The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.

⁵ Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.
