Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.

A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

Disaster[4] pursues sinners, but the righteous are rewarded with good.

An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble.

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.[3] Selah
