¹⁴ In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.

¹ Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

¹⁸ A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

⁸ For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.

⁷ For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

² And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;

²⁰ But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

⁷ And the instruments of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

¹⁷ He that passeth by, `and' vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Is `like' one that taketh a dog by the ears.

¹⁸ As a madman who casteth firebrands, Arrows, and death,

¹⁹ So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?

²⁰ For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.

²¹ `As' coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.

²² The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.

⁸ He that soweth iniquity shall reap calamity; And the rod of his wrath shall fail.

⁸ The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.

²⁸ A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

²⁹ A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.

³⁰ He that shutteth his eyes, `it is' to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.

²⁹ Devise not evil against thy neighbor, Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

¹⁴ Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;

⁴ He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.
