A Double Heart And A Forked Tongue
Psalm 12:2 - They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak
....... The prophets denounced the society their people lived in, not only for the wealth of the few with their pursuits of pleasure but also for how the poor, the orphaned and the widowed were treated by such a society. The Psalmist is crying out about evil days and evil ways, about wagging tongues and evil-speaking in high places and lies becoming the norm and people speaking with a double heart (or as North American native folks were quoted as saying about whites and the treaties they made, "they speak with a forked tongue," which means saying two things at once and probably meaning neither of them).........”
