³ Who ^(A)have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They ^(B)aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

^4 (A)No one calls in righteousness, and ^(B)no one seeks justice in truth.
They ^(C)trust in ^[a]confusion and speak worthlessness;
They ^(D)conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness.

⁸ Their ^(A)tongue is a slaughtering arrow;
It speaks deceit;
With his mouth one ^(B)speaks peace to his neighbor,
But inwardly he ^(C)sets an ambush for him.
