our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

Psalms 41:6-7

6 And when one comes to see me, ^fhe utters empty words,
while his heart gathers iniquity;
when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7 All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me. ^{▼▼Or they devise evil against me}

Psalms 52:2-4

2 Your ^htongue plots destruction,
like ⁱa sharp razor, you ^jworker of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good,
and ^klying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.

Psalms 59:7

with ^mswords in their lips—

let them be trapped in their pride.

Psalms 64:3-8

3 who ^qwhet their tongues like swords,
who ^raim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from ^sambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and ^twithout fear.
5 They ^uhold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of ^vlaying snares secretly,
thinking, ^w“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For ^xthe inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
7 ^yBut God shoots his arrow at them;
they are wounded suddenly.
8 They are brought to ruin, with their own ^ztongues turned against them;
all who ^aasee them will ^abwag their heads.

5 The arrogant have ^achidden a trap for me,
and with cords they have spread ^ada net; ^{▼▼Or they have spread cords as a net}
beside the way they have set ^afsnares for me. Selah

Jeremiah 9:2-5

2 ^{▼▼Ch 9:1 in Hebrew} Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers’ lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all ^ahadulterers,
a company of ^aitreacherous men.
3 ^ajThey bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew and not for truth they have grown strong} in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
^aland they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 ^amLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every ^anbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor ^aogoes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.

Acts 5:3

3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has ^apSatan filled your heart to lie ^aqto the Holy Spirit and ^arto keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
