They make their tongue sharp as a snake's, and under their lips is the venom of vipers. Selah
you are plotting destruction. Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery.
with speech smoother than butter, but with a heart set on war; with words that were softer than oil, but in fact were drawn swords.
I lie down among lions that greedily devour human prey; their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords.
Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, otherwise the neighbor will become weary of you and hate you.
They bend their tongues like bows; they have grown strong in the land for falsehood, and not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says the Lord.
Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit through the mouth. They all speak friendly words to their neighbors, but inwardly are planning to lay an ambush.
And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell.
