- Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
- 3
- Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness.
Selah.

- Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

- Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living.
Selah.

- And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

- `Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'

- And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
