They conceive mischief and bring forth evil, and their belly prepares deceit.”
“Though wickedness is sweet in their mouth, though they hide it under their tongues,
They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a deceitful heart they speak.
They make their tongue sharp as a snake’s, and under their lips is the venom of vipers. Selah
Those who surround me lift up their heads; let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
Rescue me from the cruel sword, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, whose mouths speak lies, and whose right hands are false.
The words of their mouths are mischief and deceit; they have ceased to act wisely and do good.
And when they come to see me, they utter empty words while their hearts gather mischief; when they go out, they tell it abroad.
For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues.
with speech smoother than butter but with a heart set on war, with words that were softer than oil but in fact were drawn swords.
The wicked go astray from the womb; they err from their birth, speaking lies.
For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter,
consume them in wrath; consume them until they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah
Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah
See how they conceive evil and are pregnant with mischief and bring forth lies.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.
Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that I need,
No one brings suit justly; no one goes to law honestly; they rely on empty pleas; they speak lies, conceiving mischief and bearing iniquity.
They bend their tongues like bows; they have grown strong in the land for falsehood and not for truth, for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says the Lord.
Oppression upon oppression, deceit upon deceit! They refuse to know me, says the Lord.
Hear this, you who trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land,
You brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
