Jehovah shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things,

that has said, We shall be strong with our tongue; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble.

He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into evil.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

Behold, he writhes in iniquity, and has conceived trouble, and has brought forth falsehood.

His trouble shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own crown.

Jehovah is known. He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Evil shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous, good shall be repaid.

Woe to the wicked! For the evil, the recompense of his hand, shall be done unto him.
