Psalm 120:4
“Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 120Meaning
The imagery answers verse 3 with poetic judgment language rather than instructions for human retaliation.
The false tongue judged
The poem portrays the serious consequences of destructive deceit.
Read carefully
It is judgment imagery, not a mandate for private violence.
Reflection
Take destructive speech seriously without imitating the violence of the imagery.
