³ Do not drag me away with the wicked,
    with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
    but harbor malice in their hearts.^(A)

²³ Like a coating of silver dross on earthenware
    are fervent^[a] lips with an evil heart.

⁸ Their tongue^(A) is a deadly arrow;
    it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,^(B)
    but in their hearts they set traps^(C) for them.^(D)
