Proverbs 1:10-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 My son, if sinners entice you,(A)
don’t be persuaded.(B)
11 If they say—“Come with us!
Let’s set an ambush(C) and kill someone.[a]
Let’s attack some innocent person(D) just for fun![b]
12 Let’s swallow them alive,(E) like Sheol,
still healthy as they go down to the Pit.(F)

Proverbs 18:20-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is satisfied;
he is filled with the product of his lips.(A)
21 Life and death are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.(B)
Isaiah 32:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 For a fool speaks foolishness
and his mind plots iniquity.
He lives in a godless way
and speaks falsely about the Lord.
He leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink.(A)
7 The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,
even when the poor says what is right.
8 But a noble person plans noble things;
he stands up for noble causes.
