Psalm 140:11

American Standard Version (1901)

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 slay the wicked; And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.

He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah
