2 Unto his neighbour every one Don't speak with [lies and] vanity; With a false double heart they talk, And lips of [fraud and] flattery.
2 Unto his neighbour every one Dont speak with [lies and] vanity; With a false double heart they talk, And lips of [fraud and] flattery.
3 God will cut off all flattering lips, [And] the [proud] tongue that speaketh thus,
4 Our word shall stand; our tongue is ours, What Lord is [Ruler] over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, And needy's sighs, I'll [now a-] rise, And them in safety set, saith God, From those that them [with scorn] despise.
