55:20 He 1 attacks 2 his friends; 3
he breaks his solemn promises to them. 4
55:21 His words are as smooth as butter, 5
but he harbors animosity in his heart. 6
His words seem softer than oil,
but they are really like sharp swords. 7
55:22 Throw your burden 8 upon the Lord,
and he will sustain you. 9
He will never allow the godly to be upended. 10
55:23 But you, O God, will bring them 11 down to the deep Pit. 12
Violent and deceitful people 13 will not live even half a normal lifespan. 14
But as for me, I trust in you.
