Psalm 120:4

A Cry For Truth And Peace

³
What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
You deceitful tongue?—
⁴ 
Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning coals of the broom tree. ⁵
Woe to me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
and I live among the tents of Kedar [among hostile people]!
