Psalm 55:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 God, who is enthroned from of old, Selah
will hear and will humble them,
because they do not change
and do not fear God.(A)
20 My companion laid hands on a friend
and violated a covenant with me[a](B)
21 with speech smoother than butter
but with a heart set on war,
with words that were softer than oil
but in fact were drawn swords.(C)

Psalm 55:19-21
King James Version
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
