Psalms 12:3-5

3May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks boastfully.

4They say, “Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own — who can be our master?”

5“Because of the devastation of the needy and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the Lord. “I will provide safety for the one who longs for it.”
