The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
