Psalms 12:2-4

²Everyone tells lies to other people; they deceive others by ◄flattering them/saying good things about them that they know are not true►.

³Yahweh, we wish that you would cut off their tongues so that they cannot continue to boast.

⁴They say, “By telling lies we will get what we want; we control what we say MTY, so no one can tell us what we should not do!”
