If they say, “Come with us;
Let us lie in wait to shed blood,
Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;

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

When he shut the sea within certain bounds, that the waters should not go over their marks. When he laid the foundations of the earth,

Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely.

When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.

The words of the wicked lie in wait to shed innocent blood, but the words of the upright will deliver them.

A prudent man keeps what he knows to himself, but the hearts of fools shout forth their foolishness.

A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.

He whose eyes are shut is a man of twisted purposes, and he who keeps his lips shut tight makes evil come about.

Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.

Wisdom is outside the power of the foolish: he keeps his mouth shut in the public place.

The grass, is taken away, and the young shoot, showeth itself, and the herbage of the mountains, is gathered;

In the transgression of a wicked man, is a snare, but, the righteous, doth shout in triumph and rejoice.
