19. God will hear, and afflict them,Even He who abides from of old.SelahBecause they do not change,Therefore they do not fear God.
20. He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;He has broken his covenant.
21. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,But war was in his heart;His words were softer than oil,Yet they were drawn swords.
22. Cast your burden on the Lord,And He shall sustain you;He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
23. But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction;Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;But I will trust in You.
