They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

Now therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?”

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.

They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.

They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.

Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’ ”

Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
