Tehillim 12:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁽³⁾They speak vanity every one with his re’a (neighbor); with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

³⁽⁴⁾Hashem shall cut off all flattering lips, and the leshon that speaketh gedolot;

⁴⁽⁵⁾Who have said, With leshoneinu (our tongue) will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is Adon over us?

Psalm 12:2-4

New International Version

²Everyone lies^(A) to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.^(B)

³May the Lord silence all flattering lips^(C)
    and every boastful tongue—^(D)
⁴those who say,
    “By our tongues we will prevail;^(E)
    our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
