⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

¹⁴ Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹² Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

⁶ 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.

⁷ For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

⁸ But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

³ They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

⁸ They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

³ Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

¹² For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

⁴ Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
