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.

The LORD will cut off all slippery lips, and the tongue that boasts great things,

Arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, and hands shedding innocent blood;

An evil man's sinful speech ensnares him, but the righteous person escapes from trouble.

The person whose mind is perverse does not find good, and anyone with perverted speech falls into trouble.

The power of the tongue is life and death those who love to talk will eat what it produces.

But the wicked one travails with evil, he conceives malice and gives birth to lies.

The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude

Evil will kill the wicked; those who hate the righteous will be held guilty.

Disaster pursues the sinful, but good will reward the righteous.

"How terrible it will be for the wicked! Disaster is headed their way, because what they did with their hand will be repaid to them.
