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

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, They shall have no way to flee; Their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit."

⁵ For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you 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 who flatters his neighbor, Spreads a net for his feet.

¹⁹ He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; Therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

² Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

³ May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that boasts,

²¹ Please don't let me respect any man's person, Neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

²² For I don't know how to give flattering titles; Or else my Maker would soon take me away.

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

⁶⁵ Among these nations shall you find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

⁵ you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
