Psalm 140:11

Modern King James Version

Do not let 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 those who hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

Woe to the wicked! For the evil doing of his hand will be done to him.

He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into mischief.

Evil pursues 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,

Jehovah is known. He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. A meditation. Selah.
