Your sin makes you say evil things. You talk like people who twist the truth.

你的罪孽指教你的口；你选用诡诈人的舌头。

你的罪孽指教你的口；你选用诡诈人的舌头。

你的罪孽指教你的口；你选用诡诈人的舌头。

你的罪指示你开口，使你说出诡诈之言。

你的罪孽教导你的口，你采用诡诈人的舌头，

你的罪孽指教你的口；你選用詭詐人的舌頭。

你的罪指示你開口，使你說出詭詐之言。

你的罪孽教導你的口，你採用詭詐人的舌頭，

因為你的罪孽在教導着你的口，你選用着狡猾人的舌頭。

爾惡訓爾之口、爾擇譎者之舌、

爾所言、狡獪不測、可決爾為惡。

爾選巧詐之言、爾口露爾愆尤、

Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.

For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.

Your sins are telling your mouth what to say. Your words are based on clever deception.

Your iniquity teaches you what to say, and you choose the language of the crafty.

For your wrongdoing teaches your mouth, And you choose the language of the cunning.

For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty.

For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

Your iniquity teaches you what to say, and you choose the language of the crafty.

For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

Your sin inspires your mouth; you choose the language of the crafty.

For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.

A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up in his heart. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up in his heart. A person’s mouth says everything that is in their heart.

They make their tongues like sharp swords. They aim their mean words like deadly arrows.

It all amounts to the same thing. That’s why I say,‘ God destroys honest people and sinful people alike.’Suppose a plague brings sudden death. Then he laughs when those who haven’t sinned lose hope.Suppose a nation falls into the power of sinful people. Then God makes its judges blind to the truth. If he isn’t the one doing it, who is?

In the same way, the tongue is a small part of a person’s body. But it talks big. Think about how a small spark can set a big forest on fire.The tongue is also a fire. The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It makes the whole body impure. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. And the tongue itself is set on fire by hell.People have tamed all kinds of wild animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures. And they still tame them.But no one can tame the tongue. It is an evil thing that never rests. It is full of deadly poison.

Suppose people think their beliefs and how they live are both right. But they don’t control what they say. Then they are fooling themselves. Their beliefs and way of life are not worth anything at all.

“ They get ready to use their tongues like bows,” announces the Lord.“ Their mouths shoot out lies like arrows. They tell lies to gain power in the land. They go from one sin to another. They do not pay any attention to me.Be on guard against your friends. Do not trust the members of your own family. Every one of them cheats. Every friend tells lies.One friend cheats another. No one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues how to lie. They wear themselves out sinning.

Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies. Save me from people whose tongues don’t tell the truth.What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue? And what more will he do?

You use your mouth to speak evil. You use your tongue to spread lies.You are a witness against your brother. You always tell lies about your own mother’s son.

Some people think they are so wise. But God catches them in their own tricks. He sweeps away the evil plans of sinful people.

Their tongues are like deadly arrows. They tell lies. With their mouths all of them speak kindly to their neighbors. But in their hearts they set traps for them.

You plan ways to destroy others. Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge. You are always telling lies.You love evil instead of good. You would rather lie than tell the truth.You love to harm others with your words, you liar!

Why doesn’t anyone bother the tents of robbers? Why do those who make God angry remain secure? They are in God’s hands!

Evil thoughts come from the inside, from a person’s heart. So do sexual sins, stealing and murder.Adultery, greed, hate and cheating come from a person’s heart too. So do desires that are not pure, and wanting what belongs to others. And so do telling lies about others and being proud and being foolish.
