50:19 You do damage with words, 1
and use your tongue to deceive. 2
64:2 Hide me from the plots of evil men,
from the crowd of evildoers. 3
64:3 They 4 sharpen their tongues like a sword;
they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge, 5
64:4 in order to shoot down the innocent 6 in secluded places.
They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation. 7
64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. 8
They plan how to hide 9 snares,
and boast, 10 “Who will see them?” 11
64:6 They devise 12 unjust schemes;
they disguise 13 a well-conceived plot. 14
Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered. 15
140:2 who plan ways to harm me. 16
All day long they stir up conflict. 17
140:3 Their tongues wound like a serpent; 18
a viper’s 19 venom is behind 20 their lips. (Selah)
6:16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
even 21 seven 22 things that are an abomination to him: 23
6:17 haughty eyes, 24 a lying tongue, 25
and hands that shed innocent blood, 26
6:18 a heart that devises wicked plans, 27
feet that are swift to run 28 to evil,
6:19 a false witness who pours out lies, 29
and a person who spreads discord 30 among family members. 31
30:14 There is a generation whose teeth are like 32 swords 33
and whose molars 34 are like knives
to devour 35 the poor from the earth
and the needy from among the human race.
9:3 The Lord says, 36
“These people are like soldiers who have readied their bows.
Their tongues are always ready to shoot out lies. 37
They have become powerful in the land,
but they have not done so by honest means. 38
Indeed, they do one evil thing after another 39
and do not pay attention to me. 40
9:4 Everyone must be on his guard around his friends.
He must not even trust any of his relatives. 41
For every one of them will find some way to cheat him. 42
And all of his friends will tell lies about him.
18:18 Then some people 43 said, “Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! 44 There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. 45 Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! 46 Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”
24:1 After five days the high priest Ananias 56 came down with some elders and an attorney 57 named 58 Tertullus, and they 59 brought formal charges 60 against Paul to the governor.
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authority 67 of his Christ, 68 have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, 69
the one who accuses them day and night 70 before our God,
has been thrown down.
