The words of their mouths are mischief and deceit; they have ceased to act wisely and do good.
For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues.
you are plotting destruction. Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery.
I lie down among lions that greedily devour human prey; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords.
For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies; your tongue mutters wickedness.
Have you not seen a false vision or uttered a lying divination when you have said, “Says the Lord,” even though I did not speak?
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness; there is not even one.”
By no means! Although every human is a liar, let God be proved true, as it is written, “So that you may be justified in your words and you will prevail when you go to trial.”
