Psalms 12:4 Context
2They speake vanitie euery one with his neighbour: with flattering lips, and with a double heart do they speake. 3The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. 4Who haue said, with our tongue wil we preuaile, our lips are our owne: who is Lord ouer vs? 5For the oppression of the poore, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise (saith the Lord,) I will set him in safetie from him that puffeth at him. 6The wordes of the Lord are pure wordes: as siluer tried in a fornace of earth purified seuen times.
