Everyone tells lies, and no one is sincere.
They want to serve themselves and not Christ the Lord. Their flattery and fancy talk fool people who don't know any better.
They say they want peace, but this lie is deadly, like an arrow that strikes when you least expect it.
When visitors come, all they ever bring are worthless words, and when they leave, they spread gossip.
of those lying foreigners who never tell the truth.
They curse and tell lies, and all they talk about is how to be cruel or how to do wrong.
Nothing they say is true! They just want to destroy. Their words are deceitful like a hidden pit, and their tongues are good only for telling lies.
Don't drag me away, Lord, with those cruel people, who speak kind words, while planning trouble.

No one is loyal to God; no one does right. Everyone is brutal and eager to deceive everyone else.
