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 shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks proud things,

a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble.

He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into mischief.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

Behold, he labors in pain with iniquity, and he has conceived mischief, and has brought forth falsehood.

Jehovah is known. He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. A meditation. Selah.

Evil shall slay the wicked; and those who hate the righteous shall be held guilty.

Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

Woe to the wicked! For the evil doing of his hand will be done to him.
