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

²¹ Evil shall slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

¹¹ Woe unto the wicked! `it shall be' ill `with him'; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.

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

²⁰ He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

²¹ Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

¹³ In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

³ Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;

⁴ Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

¹⁶ Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

¹⁴ Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵ He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶ His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
