In context
3Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbor: Their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.
4Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, And the tongue that speaks great words:
— Psalms 11:5 —
6Because of the misery of the poor, And because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith the Lord, I will set them in safety; I will speak to them thereof openly.
7The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; As silver tried in the fire, proved in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.
