20 Against them that with him had peace He hath put forth his treacherous hand; The Covenant which he hath made, By breaking [falsely] he profaned.

21 Smoother than butter were his words, While in his heart [designed] was war; His speeches were softer than Oil, But [hurtful] as drawn swords they are.
