Psalms 50:19

19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
^aand your tongue frames deceit.

Psalms 64:2-6

2 Hide me from ^bthe secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who ^cwhet their tongues like swords,
who ^daim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from ^eambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and ^fwithout fear.
5 They ^ghold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of ^hlaying snares secretly,
thinking, ⁱ“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For ^jthe inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

Psalms 140:2-3

2 who plan evil things in their heart
and ^kstir up wars continually.
3 They make ^ltheir tongue sharp as ^ma serpent’s,
and ⁿunder their lips is the ^ovenom of asps. Selah

Proverbs 6:16-19

16 There are ^psix things that the Lord hates,
^qseven that are an abomination to him:
17 ^rhaughty eyes, ^sa lying tongue,
and ^thands that shed innocent blood,
18 ^ua heart that devises wicked plans,
^vfeet that make haste to run to evil,
19 ^wa false witness who ^xbreathes out lies,
and one who ^ysows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 30:14

14 There are those whose teeth are ^zswords,
whose ^aafangs are knives,
to ^abdevour the poor from off the earth,
the needy from among mankind.

Jeremiah 9:3-4

3 ^acThey 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,
^aeand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 ^afLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every ^agbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor ^ahgoes about as a slanderer.

Jeremiah 18:18

18 Then they said, ^ai“Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, ^ajfor the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. ^akCome, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.”
