and He has delivered my soul from the midst of [the lion's] whelps; I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Some wound as they speak, like swords, but the tongues of the wise heal.

A wicked generation have swords for teeth and jaw-teeth as knives, so as to destroy and devour the lowly from the earth, and the poor of them from among men.

I will not allow any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before Me, says the Lord.

And they have bent their tongue like a bow; falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known Me, says the Lord.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Thus the tongue is set among our members, as that which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

But no man can tame the tongue. [It] is an unrestrainable evil, full of deadly poison.

For behold the sinners have bent their [bow], they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot secretly at the upright in heart.

They shall utterly pass away like water running through; he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
