²⁰ My companion laid hands on a friend
    and violated a covenant with me^[a]
21 with speech smoother than butter,
    but with a heart set on war;
with words that were softer than oil,
    but in fact were drawn swords.

²² Cast your burden^[b] on the Lord,
    and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
    the righteous to be moved.
