Psalm 140:11

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;

In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare; but a righteous man shall go forth out of trouble.

He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:

Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him, because the desert of his hands shall be rendered unto him.
