²¹His words were oily smooth, but in his heart was war. His words were sweet, but underneath were daggers.

Psalm 55:21

New International Version

²¹His talk is smooth as butter,^(A)
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,^(B)
yet they are drawn swords.^(C)

4 What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you?

4 What causes fights and quarrels^(A) among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle^(B) within you?
