Psalms 55:21
King James VersionSource notes
“of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet they drawn swords.”
Context
18He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many with me.
19God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet they drawn swords.
22Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
