⁷ Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue `is' perverseness and iniquity,

¹⁴ Lo, he travaileth `with' iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

¹² Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,

³ They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder `is' under their lips. Selah.

³ The words of his mouth `are' iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.

⁶ The making of treasures by a lying tongue, `Is' a vanity driven away of those seeking death.

⁸ Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,

⁴ There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.

³ And they bend their tongue, their bow `is' a lie, And not for stedfastness have they been mighty in the land, For from evil unto evil they have gone forth, And Me they have not known, An affirmation of Jehovah!

⁶ thy dwelling `is' in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.

³⁴ `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things -- being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

¹³ A sepulchre opened `is' their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps `is' under their lips.

¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

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.

⁷ For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature,

⁸ and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, `it is' an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,

¹¹ Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood,

⁸ Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand `is' a right hand of falsehood.

⁹ For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart `is' mischiefs, An open grave `is' their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

² Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

⁶ And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.

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

²¹ Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart `is' war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they `are' drawn `swords'.

³ The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.

¹² The sin of their mouth `is' a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.

⁴ Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

³ Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

⁸ They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.

⁹ The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.

³⁵ To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
