"Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things; "
— Psalms 12:3, American Standard Version
“The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:”
“May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,”
“May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts!”
“How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?”
“The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.”
“The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:”
Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.
