Psalms 55:21
Berean Standard Bible
His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
Context
19God will hear and humiliate them—
the One enthroned for the ages—
Selah
because they do not change
and they have no fear of God. 20My companion attacks his friends;
he violates his covenant. 21His speech is smooth as butter,
but war is in his heart.
His words are softer than oil,
yet they are swords unsheathed. 22Cast your burden upon the LORD
and He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous be shaken. 23But You, O God, will bring them down
to the Pit of destruction;
men of bloodshed and deceit
will not live out half their days.
But I will trust in You.
