3 How long will ye imagine mischief * h2050 h8779 against a man * h376? ye shall be slain * h7523 h8792 all of you: as a bowing * h5186 h8803 wall * h7023 shall ye be, and as a tottering * h1760 h8803 fence * h1447.
4 They only consult * h3289 h8804 to cast him down * h5080 h8687 from his excellency * h7613: they delight * h7521 h8799 in lies * h3577: they bless * h1288 h8762 with their mouth * h6310, but they curse * h7043 h8762 inwardly * h7130. Selah * h5542. inwardly: Heb. in their inward parts

9 Surely men * h120 * h1121 of low degree are vanity * h1892, and men * h376 of high degree are a lie * h3577: to be laid * h5927 h8800 in the balance * h3976, they are altogether * h3162 lighter than vanity * h1892. altogether: or, alike
