The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
