'Tongues' in the Bible
For there is nothing reliable in what they say;destruction is within them;their throat is an open grave;they flatter with their tongues.
Their mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression, their tongues spread trouble and iniquity.
Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaks great things [in boasting];
They say, “Through our tongues we have power;our lips are our own—who can be our master?”
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
I am surrounded by lions;I lie down with those who devour men.Their teeth are spears and arrows;their tongues are sharp swords.
See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?
who sharpen their tongues like swordsand aim bitter words like arrows,
They will be made to stumble;their own tongues work against them.All who see them will shake their heads.
so that your foot may wade in bloodand your dogs’ tongues may have their sharefrom the enemies.”
They set their mouths against heaven,and their tongues strut across the earth.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me;they speak against me with lying tongues.
"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive."
Our mouths were filled with laughter then,and our tongues with shouts of joy.Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”
