A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
