And when one comes to see me, he speaks falsely;
his heart gathers disaster for itself.
He goes out to the street; he speaks.

“A ruinous thing is poured out on him,
and now that he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

  1. Psalm 41:7 Literally “evil”

When one of them comes to see me,
    he speaks falsely,(A) while his heart gathers slander;(B)
    then he goes out and spreads(C) it around.

“A vile disease has afflicted him;
    he will never get up(E) from the place where he lies.”
