Psalm 140:11

A Conservative Version

An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

See the chapter Copy

Evil shall kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

Woe to the wicked! [It is] ill [with him], for what his hands have done shall be done to him.

He who has a wayward heart finds no good, and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

Evil pursues sinners, but the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

A wicked man is snared by the transgression of [his] lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

LORD has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
