'Devises' in the Bible

The wicked one arrogantly pursues the afflicted, who are trapped in the schemes he devises.

He devises iniquity on his bed and is determined to follow a path that is not good. He does not resist evil.

You give your mouth free reign for evil, and your tongue devises deceit.

Your tongue, like a sharp razor, devises wicked things and crafts treachery.
