²¹ Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart `is' war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they `are' drawn `swords'.

³ Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart.

³ For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil `is' her mouth,

⁴ And her latter end `is' bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword `with' mouths.

⁴ My soul `is' in the midst of lions, I lie down `among' flames -- sons of men, Their teeth `are' a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

² And supper being come, the devil already having put `it' into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

²⁰ And, having watched `him', they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,

²¹ and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;

²⁵ And Judas -- he who delivered him up -- answering said, `Is it I, Rabbi?' He saith to him, `Thou hast said.'

²⁸ A lying tongue hateth its bruised ones, And a flattering mouth worketh an overthrow!

²⁴ By his lips doth a hater dissemble, And in his heart he placeth deceit,

²⁵ When his voice is gracious trust not in him, For seven abominations `are' in his heart.

²⁶ Hatred is covered by deceit, Revealed is its wickedness in an assembly.

¹⁸ A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.

³ Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

⁴ Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

⁷ Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords `are' in their lips, for `Who heareth?'

² Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.
