Psalm 140:11

Bible in Basic English 1965

Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.

See the chapter Copy

Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.

The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. Higgaion. Selah.

In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.

Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food.

Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.
