For your crookedness teaches your mouth what to say, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
“Their tongue is an arrow shot out. It speaks deceit – speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he sets his ambush.
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless.
“The good man brings forth what is good out of the good treasure of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked out of the wicked treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart his mouth speaks.
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And aim their arrows, a bitter word,
catching the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of schemers are swept away.
The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke Ě
thwarting the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands do not work effectively;
and show you the secrets of wisdom, doubling your ability. Know then that Eloah forgets some of your crookedness for you.
Indeed, you do away with reverence, and withhold prayer before Ě
Is not your evil great? And is there no end to your crookednesses?
Then these three men ceased to answer Iyoḇ
