Inward

Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.

The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.

Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?

The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?

Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil.

Throat

A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.

Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

They

Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.

Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.

A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.

For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,
