Psalms 10:7

¹⁴Behold, ^[+] he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

⁹As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

³They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

¹²For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

³who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

⁶And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.^7[+] For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind; ⁸but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

¹¹Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁴You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

³“They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD.
