9 For nothing they say can be trusted;

Within them is nothing but malice;

Their throat is an open grave;

They flatter with their tongue.*+

 3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those practicing what is hurtful,+

Those who are speaking words of peace with their fellow man while evil is in their hearts.+

21 His words are smoother than butter,+

But conflict is in his heart.

His words are softer than oil,

But they are drawn swords.+
