Psalm 55:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹God will give ear, and humble them,
he who is enthroned from of old;
because they keep no law,^[a]
and do not fear God.Selah

²⁰My companion stretched out his hand against his friends,
    he violated his covenant.
²¹His speech was smoother than butter,
    yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
    yet they were drawn swords.
