A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing.
Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.
In transgression of the lips `is' the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.
Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.
The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
Death and life `are' in the power of the tongue, And those loving it eat its fruit.
Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --
Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
