Psalms 10:7

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”

“Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness will be his reward.

for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

“You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.

You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won’t be blessed in the end.

A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

Their quiver is an open tomb. They are all mighty men.

For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you! Even they have cried aloud after you! Don’t believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.

As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.

As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do mischief, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.

You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?

They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips.

You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

They conceive mischief, and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,

Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity, and speak lies. They conceive mischief, and give birth to iniquity.

“They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says Yahweh.

Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says Yahweh.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
