Psalm 140:11

Contemporary English Version 1995

Chase those cruel liars away! Let trouble hunt them down.

See the chapter Copy

Wicked people are killed by their own evil deeds, and if you hate God's people you will be punished.

Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say.

Tell those who disobey, “You're in big trouble— what you did to others will come back to you.”

Dishonesty does you no good, and telling lies will get you in trouble.

You are in for trouble if you sin, but you will be rewarded if you live right.

We trap ourselves by telling lies, but we stay out of trouble by living right.

Those who are too proud or tell lies or murder,

You showed what you are like, and you made certain that justice is done, but evil people are trapped by their own evil deeds.
