³ Will he make many supplications to you?
Will he speak softly to you?

^10 (A)Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
^(B)Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.

15 A ^(A)soft answer turns away wrath,
But ^(B)a harsh word stirs up anger.

^21 (A)The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
