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

^4 (A)No one sues righteously and ^(B)no one pleads ^[a]honestly.
They ^(C)trust in confusion and speak lies;
They ^(D)conceive trouble and give birth to disaster.

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