NASB
"His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords."
— Psalms 55:21, NASB
“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.”
“His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords. ”
“His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.”
“His words are as smooth as butter, but he harbors animosity in his heart. His words seem softer than oil, but they are really like sharp swords.”
“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.”
“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.”
He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me, For they are many who strive with me.
God will hear and answer them-- Even the one who sits enthroned from of old-- Selah. With whom there is no change, And who do not fear God.
He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.
His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
