An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Let not a man of slanderous tongue be established in the earth; let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him [let calamity follow his evildoings].
Let no slanderer be safe in the land. Let calamity hunt down violent people—and quickly!
Evil shall slay the wicked: And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.
The LORD hath made himself known, he hath executed judgement: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man: But the righteous shall come out of trouble.
Evil pursueth sinners: But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
