Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
bend . . . tongues . . . for lies—that is, with lies as their arrows; they direct lies on their tongue as their bow (Psalms 64:3-4).
not valiant for . . . truth— (Jeremiah 7:28). MAURER translates, "They do not prevail by truth" or faith (Psalms 12:4). Their tongue, not faith, is their weapon.
upon . . . earth—rather, "in the land."
know not me— (Hosea 4:1).
