If someone walking after wind and falsehood Had lied and said, ‘I will prophesy to you about wine and liquor,’ He would become a prophet to this people.

For the rich people of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

The godly person has perished from the land, And there is no upright person among mankind. All of them lie in wait for bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a net.

Do not trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a close friend. Guard your lips From her who lies in your arms.
