Proverbs 16:27

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁶
The appetite of a worker works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.
²⁷ 
A worthless man devises and digs up evil,
And the words on his lips are like a scorching fire.
²⁸
A perverse man spreads strife,
And one who gossips separates intimate friends.

James 3:6

And the tongue is [in a sense] a fire, the very world of injustice and unrighteousness; the tongue is set among our members as that which contaminates the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life [the cycle of man’s existence], and is itself set on fire by hell (Gehenna).

There happened to be there a worthless and wicked man named Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. He blew a trumpet [to call Israel to revolt] and said,“We have no portion in David
And no inheritance in the son of Jesse,
Every man to his tents, O Israel!”

Psalm 17:14-15

From men with Your hand, O Lord,
From men of the world [these moths of the night] whose portion [of enjoyment] is in this life—idle and vain,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And they leave what they have left [of wealth] to their children.

Psalm 52:2-4

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

Psalm 57:4

My life is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe out fire—
The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.

And search for her as you would hidden treasures;

A worthless person, a wicked man,
Is one who walks with a perverse (corrupt, vulgar) mouth.

Who perversely in his heart plots trouble and evil continually;
Who spreads discord and strife.

Woe (judgment is coming) to those who drag along wickedness with cords of falsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes [towing their own punishment];

That peoples labor [only] for the fire [that will destroy their work],
And nations grow weary for nothing [that is, things which have no lasting value]?
