21 His [a]speech was (A)smoother than butter,But his heart was war;His words were (B)softer than oil,Yet they were drawn (C)swords.
8 Their (A)tongue is a deadly arrow;It speaks deceit;With his mouth one (B)speaks peace to his neighbor,But inwardly he (C)sets an ambush for him.
12 For the rich people of [a]the city are full of (A)violence,Her residents speak (B)lies,And their (C)tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
