Neighbors lie to each other, speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts. May the LORD cut off their flattering lips and silence their boastful tongues.
Psalms 12:1-4 The Message (MSG)
Quick, GOD, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, All the friends I depended on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; Lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues. Slice their lips off their faces! Pull The braggart tongues from their mouths! I’m tired of hearing, “We can talk anyone into anything! Our lips manage the world.”

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: With flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaketh proud things

Psalms 12:2-4 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Everyone lies, everyone flatters, and everyone deceives. Nothing but empty talk, smooth talk, and double-talk. You will destroy every proud liar who says, “We lie all we want. Our words are our weapons, and we won’t be held accountable. Who can stop us?” May YAHWEH cut off their twisted tongues and seal their lying lips. May they all be silenced—those who boast and brag with their high-minded talk.
