BrLXX Καὶ ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ γλυκανεῖ ὁ ἐχθρὸς, καὶ ἐν τῇ καρδία αὐτοῦ βουλεύσεται ἀνατρέψαι σε εἰς βόθρον· ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ δακρύσει ὁ ἐχθρὸς, καὶ ἐὰν εὕρῃ καιρὸν, οὐκ ἐμπλησθήσεται ἀφʼ αἵματος.
(Kai en tois ⱪeilesin autou glukanei ho eⱪthros, kai en taʸ kardia autou bouleusetai anatrepsai se eis bothron; en ofthalmois autou dakrusei ho eⱪthros, kai ean heuraʸ kairon, ouk emplaʸsthaʸsetai afʼ haimatos. )
