The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Verse 3 is found in chapter 12 of Psalms. Psalm 12 laments the disappearance of faithfulness and the proliferation of deceptive words. Human speech appears as an instrument of manipulation, especially when the powerful use arrogant words to oppress. In contrast, the word of the Lord is presented as pure and trustworthy. The contrast between fluctuating human words and preserved divine speech establishes a theological foundation for trust in the midst of a corrupt society.

Einer redet mit dem andern unnütze Dinge; sie heucheln und lehren aus uneinigem Herzen.
Destruirá Jehová todos los labios lisonjeros, La lengua que habla grandezas,
¡Que Jehová corte todos los labios aduladores y la lengua que habla con arrogancia!
Que l'Eternel extermine toutes les lèvres flatteuses, La langue qui discourt avec arrogance,
Il Signore ricida tutte le labbra lusinghiere, La lingua che parla altieramente;
O SENHOR cortará todos os lábios lisonjeiros e a língua que fala soberbamente.
願耶和華剪除一切油滑的嘴唇, 誇大的舌頭。
