¹² Though evil-doing is sweet in his mouth, and he keeps it secretly under his tongue;

¹⁶ How much less one who is disgusting and unclean, a man who takes in evil like water!

⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.

⁶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

¹⁷ As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.

¹⁸ He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

¹⁷ Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.

¹⁸ But he does not see that the dead are there, that her guests are in the deep places of the underworld.

¹⁷ Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but after, his mouth will be full of sand.

⁹ Have joy, O young man, while you are young; and let your heart be glad in the days of your strength, and go in the ways of your heart, and in the desire of your eyes; but be certain that for all these things God will be your judge.
