20 They do not speak peaceably,

but devise false accusations

against those who live quietly in the land.

20 For they do not speak peace,

but against those who are quiet in the land

they devise words of deceit.

20 For they speak not peace:

But they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

20 They don’t talk of peace;

they plot against innocent people who mind their own business.

20 Their words are not friendly

but are lies about peace-loving people.

20 For they speak not peace;

But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

20 For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.

20 They do not talk about peace. 

Instead, they scheme against the peaceful people in the land. 

20 For they do not speak in friendly ways,

but contrive deceitful schemes

against those who live peacefully in the land.

20 For they do not speak peace,

but they conceive deceitful words

against those who are quiet in the land.

20 For they do not speak peace,

but against the quiet ones of the land

they plan deceitful words.

20 They don’t speak words of peace.

They make up false charges

against those who live quietly in the land.

20 For they do not speak peace,

But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
