⁴ Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

⁵ Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; `They are' in the heart of the king's enemies.

⁸ But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part `shall be' in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

⁵ So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

⁶ And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

⁷ For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.

⁸ But the tongue can no man tame; `it is' a restless evil, `it is' full of deadly poison.

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall perish.

⁵ A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

⁸ The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.

²⁷ A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

²² Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; But they that deal truly are his delight.

¹⁸ The wicked earneth deceitful wages; But he that soweth righteousness `hath' a sure reward.

¹² He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

⁹ With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.

⁹ As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

¹⁰ Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.

¹¹ An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

⁷ Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, `say they', doth hear?

⁴ My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵ God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

¹³ He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery `shafts'.

²³ I will heap evils upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them:

²⁴ `They shall be' wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.
