And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies
Their tongues were like bows, and their lying words like arrows, which they directed against persons to their injury; see ( Psalms 11:2 ) ( 64:3 ) , or, "like their deceitful bow" F16; to which the Targum agrees,
``they teach their tongues words of falsehood, they are like to a deceitful bow.''Most agreeably to the accents the words may be rendered, "they bend their tongues, their bow is a lie" F17; either deceitful, or carries a lie in it, and shoots one out of it: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth;
``the knowledge of my fear they learned not.''
