⁴ My soul is in the midst of ^(A)lions;
    I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose ^(B)teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose ^(C)tongues are sharp swords.

²¹ His ^(A)speech was ^(B)smooth as butter,
    yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
    yet they were ^(C)drawn swords.
