UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

Everyone says & everyone speaks

(Some words not found in UHB: help, YHWH that/for/because/then/when no_longer godly that/for/because/then/when vanished faithful from=(the)_sons humankind )

The two occurrences of “everyone” are exaggerations, used to emphasize that this is true of very many people.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

everyone speaks with flattering lips and a double heart

(Some words not found in UHB: help, YHWH that/for/because/then/when no_longer godly that/for/because/then/when vanished faithful from=(the)_sons humankind )

Here “lips” is a metonym for what people say, and “a double heart” is a metaphor for deception. Alternate translation: “everyone speaks with flattering words and deception” or “everyone praises people falsely and tells lies” (See also: figs-metaphor)
