Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgai´on. Selah.
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
