Psalms 12:3-8 English Revised Version (ERV)

3. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:

4. Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

5. For the spoiling of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety at whom they puff.

6. The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

7. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

8. The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
