Tongue

“They bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they proceed from evil to evil,
And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.

They speak falsehood to one another;
With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
You deceitful tongue?

One

So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he struck him in the belly so that he died on account of the blood of Asahel his brother.

Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with those who work iniquity,
Who speak peace with their neighbors,
While evil is in their hearts.

His speech was smoother than butter,
But his heart was war;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

He who hates disguises it with his lips,
But he lays up deceit in his heart.

Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.”

Like a club and a sword and a sharp arrow
Is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
