And everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Their tongue is a slaughtering arrow; it speaks deceit; one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait.

Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.

who sharpen their tongue like a sword. They have bent their bows to shoot their arrows; even bitter words,

so that they may shoot at the perfect one from a hiding place; suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

Rescue my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom tree!

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has uttered perverseness.

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.

in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.

Both hands are on evil, to do it well. Both the ruler and the judge ask for a bribe. And the great one speaks the lust of his soul; and they weave it together.

Put no faith in a companion; put no trust in a friend; keep the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom;

Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in Heaven.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who is believing, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and through the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives unto death.

Yet they did not listen to Me, nor extend their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

But evil men and pretenders will grow worse and worse, leading astray and being led astray.

For My people are foolish; they have not known Me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Was this not knowledge of Me? says Jehovah.

And they shall no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who had not known Jehovah nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Now the sons of Eli were sons of wickedness; they did not know Jehovah.

Hear the Word of Jehovah, you sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a complaint against the inhabitants of the land; for there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

On account of this the land shall mourn, and every one living there shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yes, even the fish of the sea shall be taken away.

Jesus answered, If I glorify Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, I do not know Him, I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His Word.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.

And even as they do not like to have God in their full true knowledge, God gives them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
