Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
