Bible References

Givest

You love evil more than good,

Falsehood more than speaking what is right.

Selah.

“Everyone deceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth,
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves committing iniquity.

Tongue

There is nothing reliable in what they say;
Their inward part is destruction itself.
Their throat is an open grave;
They flatter with their tongue.

His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;

Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

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

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me,
Then I could bear it;
Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me,
Then I could hide myself from him.

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

For your hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken falsehood,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.

There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery.
They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.

“Their throat is an open grave,
With their tongues they keep deceiving,”
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;

So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
