27 An ungodly man digs up evil,
    and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

28 A perverse man sows strife,
    and a whisperer separates the best of friends.

29 A violent man entices his neighbor,
    and leads him into the way that is not good.

30 He shuts his eyes to devise perverse things;
    moving his lips he brings evil to pass.
