Psalm 59:7

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

A wise tongue commendeth knowledge; a foolish mouth babbleth out nothing but foolishness.

Their mouths are softer than butter, and yet have they battle in their mind: their words are smoother than oil, and yet be they very swords.

I lie with my soul among the cruel lions; even among the children of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

who have whet their tongue like a sword, and shoot out their arrows, even bitter words,

for the mouth of the ungodly, yea and the mouth of the deceitful is opened upon me, and speak against me with false tongues.

A slanderous person pricketh like a sword; but a wise man's tongue is wholesome.
