Psalm 140:11

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

Let not an evil speaker 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 desolate.

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 the reward of his hands shall be given him.

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

Evil pursueth sinners: But to the righteous good shall be repaid.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: But the just shall come out of trouble.

A proud look, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
