⁵ And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

¹² For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

⁵ For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

² Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

²⁵ Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

¹³ Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

³ O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

¹² She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

⁸ Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.

³ And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.
