Do not let the slanderer be established in the land; let evil speedily hunt down the violent!
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Let not a man of slanderous tongue be established in the earth; let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him [let calamity follow his evildoings].
An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Let no slanderer be safe in the land. Let calamity hunt down violent people—and quickly!
Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. [Higgaion. Selah]
The evil are ensnared by the transgression of their lips, but the righteous escape from trouble.
Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.
The crooked of mind do not prosper, and the perverse of tongue fall into calamity.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Woe to the guilty! How unfortunate they are, for what their hands have done shall be done to them.
