21 His [a]speech was (A)smoother than butter,But his heart was war;His words were (B)softer than oil,Yet they were drawn (C)swords.
7 Behold, they (A)gush forth with their mouths;(B)Swords are in their lips,For, they say, “(C)Who hears?”
3 Who (A)have sharpened their tongues like a sword.They (B)aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
18 There is one who (A)speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,But the (B)tongue of the wise brings healing.
