The Traitor’s Treachery

20 The traitor reaches out his hand against those at peace with him.
He breaks his agreement.[a]
21 His flattery is as smooth as butter,
yet war is in his heart.
His words are more soothing than oil,
yet they are drawn daggers.

God’s Solution

22 Place your burden on the Lord,
and he will support you.
He will never allow the righteous to fall.
