3 Do not [a]take me away with the wickedAnd with the workers of iniquity,(A)Who speak peace to their neighbors,But evil is in their hearts.
4 My soul is among lions;I lie among the sons of menWho are set on fire,(A)Whose teeth are spears and arrows,And their tongue a sharp sword.
3 (A)For the lips of [a]an immoral woman drip honey,And her mouth is (B)smoother than oil;
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,Sharp as a two-edged sword.
18 (A)There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
