For peace they do not speak at all; but crafty plots prepare Against all those within the land that meek and quiet are.
For they speak not peace: But they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against those who are quiet in the land.
For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
They don’t speak the truth; instead, they plot false accusations against innocent people in the land.
For slanders I of many heard; fear compass'd me, while they Against me did consult, and plot to take my life away.
Yea, they that seek my life lay snares: who seek to do me wrong Speak things mischievous, and deceits imagine all day long.
Thy tongue mischievous calumnies deviseth subtilely, Like to a razor sharp to cut, working deceitfully.
