An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; And a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; And a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
An evildoer gives heed to wicked lips; and a liar listens to a mischievous tongue.
An evildoer pays attention to guilty lips; a liar listens to a destructive tongue.
The evil obey an unjust tongue. And the false are submissive to lying lips.
The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips.
God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
The simple believeth every word: But the prudent man looketh well to his going.
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: But such as keep the law contend with them.
which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.
