His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are trouble and wickedness.

They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

And when he comes to see me, he speaks vanity; his heart gathers iniquity to itself; he goes out and speaks of it.

The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from the belly, speaking lies.

Surely they have plotted to cast him down from his high position; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful have opened against me; they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their paths.

He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside, so that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is this not a lie in my right hand?

And if your right hand snares you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.

And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

so that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
