9 For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is jdestruction;
ktheir throat is lan open grave;
they mflatter with their tongue.
8 xTheir tongue is a deadly arrow;
yit speaks deceitfully;
with his mouth zeach speaks peace to his neighbor,
but in his heart ahe plans an ambush for him.
18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but ztheir own appetites,1 and aby smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
