²⁷ A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a burning fire.

⁶ and the tongue `is' a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.

¹³ Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?

¹⁸ Wo `to' those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as `with' thick ropes of the cart -- sin.

¹⁴ Frowardness `is' in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

¹² A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking `with' perverseness of mouth,

⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,

⁴ My soul `is' in the midst of lions, I lie down `among' flames -- sons of men, Their teeth `are' a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

² Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

³ Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.

⁴ Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

¹⁴ From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion `is' in life, And `with' Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied `with' sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

¹⁵ I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, `with' Thy form!

¹ And there hath been called there a man of worthlessness, and his name `is' Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and saith, `We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each to his tents, O Israel.'

¹⁷ `And, now, know and consider what thou dost; for evil hath been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he `is' too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.'
