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

¹⁴ That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

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

³ Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah.)

³ In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

⁶ He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death.

⁸ Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food:

⁴ No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.

³ Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.

⁶ There is wrong on wrong, deceit on deceit; they have given up the knowledge of me, says the Lord.

³⁴ You offspring of snakes, how are you, being evil, able to say good things? because out of the heart's store come the words of the mouth.

¹³ Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:

⁶ And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

⁷ For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

⁸ But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

¹¹ Make me free, and take me out of the hands of strange men, in whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.

⁸ In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.

⁹ For no faith may be put in their words; their inner part is nothing but evil; their throat is like an open place for the dead; smooth are the words of their tongues.

² Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.

⁶ If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

⁴ Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

²¹ The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.

³ The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.

¹² Because of the sin of their mouths and the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and for their curses and their deceit,

⁴ Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

³ Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;

⁸ Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts.

⁹ As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.

³⁵ Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.
