⁸ Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks ^(A)deceit;
One speaks ^(B)peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But ^[a]in his heart he ^[b]lies in wait.

³ Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
^(A)And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

²⁰ He feeds on ashes;
^(A)A deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a ^(B)lie in my right hand?”

¹² For her rich men are full of ^(A)violence,
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And ^(B)their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
