³⁴ You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the ^[a]superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.

²³ Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

¹¹ The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous man is a well of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

Psalm 14

To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David.

¹ The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right.^(A)

² Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs and tries the hearts.^(A)
