HOV
21. उसके मुंह की बातें तो मक्खन सी चिकनी थी परन्तु उसके मन में लड़ाई की बातें थीं; उसके वचन तेल से अधिक नरम तो थे परन्तु नंगी तलवारें थीं॥

ERVHI
21. मेरे शत्रु सचमुच मीठा बोलते हैं, और सुशांति की बातें करते रहते हैं। किन्तु वास्तव में, वे युद्ध का कुचक्र रचते हैं। उनके शब्द काट करते छुरी की सी और फिसलन भरे हैं जैसे तेल होता है।

IRVHI
21. उसके मुँह की बातें तो मक्खन सी चिकनी थी परन्तु उसके मन में लड़ाई की बातें थीं; उसके वचन तेल से अधिक नरम तो थे परन्तु नंगी तलवारें थीं।
