19God will hear and answer them,g
he who is enthroned from of old, Selah
Because they do not change,
and they do not fear God.
20He has put forth his hands against his friends;h
he has defiled his covenant.
21The buttery wordsi of his mouth were smooth,
but there was battle in his heart.
His words were smoother than oil,
but they were drawn swords.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
God will give ear and humble them,
he who is enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not change
and do not fear God.
My companion stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
His speech was smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
he will hear them and humble them,
because they have no fear of God.
My companion attacks his friends;
he violates his covenant.
His talk is smooth as butter,
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,
yet they are drawn swords.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
God, the one enthroned from long ago,
will hear and will humiliate them
Selah
because they do not change
and do not fear God.
My friend acts violently
against those at peace with him;
he violates his covenant.
His buttery words are smooth,
but war is in his heart.
His words are softer than oil,
but they are drawn swords.

NLTNew Living Translation
God, who has ruled forever,
will hear me and humble them.
Interlude
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
they do not fear God.
As for my companion, he betrayed his friends;
he broke his promises.
His words are as smooth as butter,
but in his heart is war.
His words are as soothing as lotion,
but underneath are daggers!

KJV 1900King James Version
God shall hear, and afflict them,
Even he that abideth of old. Selah.
Because they have no changes,
Therefore they fear not God.
He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him:
He hath broken his covenant.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:
His words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
