¹¹ A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing.

²¹ Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.

¹¹ Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

²¹ Death and life `are' in the power of the tongue, And those loving it eat its fruit.

²⁰ The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.

²¹ Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.

¹³ In transgression of the lips `is' the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.

¹⁷ Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --

³ Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

⁴ Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips `are' our own; who `is' lord over us?'

¹⁶ Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

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

¹⁵ A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

¹⁶ Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
