20 My companion stretched out his hand against his friends,
    he violated his covenant.
21 His speech was smoother than butter,
    yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
    yet they were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden[a] on the Lord,
    and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
    the righteous to be moved.
