Sharpened

Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

Behold, they belch forth with their mouth;

Swords are in their lips,

For, they say, “Who hears?”

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.

For your hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken falsehood,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.

“They bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they proceed from evil to evil,
And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.

And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by

Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,

With their tongues they keep deceiving,”
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
