⁹ For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:

⁴ They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

⁶ Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

² Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

¹² For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

⁴⁴ Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over `them' know it not.

³ And they bend their tongue, `as it were' their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.

⁴ Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.

⁵ And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

⁶ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.

¹ Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

² The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

³ His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁶ They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, `say they', a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

² Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

³ The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

¹ The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

² For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise `and' to do good.

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

² They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

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

²¹ Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

²² For I know not to give flattering titles; `Else' would my Maker soon take me away.

¹⁴ O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

²² covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

³⁹ And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

³⁰ backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

⁵ For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;

⁵ A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps.
