Remove perverse speech from your mouth; keep devious talk far from your lips.

A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and his slander is like a scorching fire.

And besides that, going around from house to house they learn to be lazy, and they are not only lazy, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things they should not.

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.

Even from among your own group men will arise, teaching perversions of the truth to draw the disciples away after them.

And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence– and is set on fire by hell.

For there are many rebellious people, idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those with Jewish connections,who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.

One who acts wickedly pays attention to evil counsel; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride and the evil way and perverse utterances.

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the LORD.

The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth.( Selah)You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives.

His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.

The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the faithless will be captured by their own desires.

to deliver you from the way of the wicked, from those speaking perversity,

he plots evil with perverse thoughts in his heart, he spreads contention at all times.

They mock and say evil things; they proudly threaten violence.They speak as if they rule in heaven, and lay claim to the earth.

Look, they hurl insults at me and openly threaten to kill me, for they say,“ Who hears?”

When David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, he became angry with David and said,“ Why have you come down here? To whom did you entrust those few sheep in the desert? I am familiar with your pride and deceit! You have come down here to watch the battle!”

“ I, the LORD, also solemnly assert:‘ King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, and the people who remain in Jerusalem or who have gone to live in Egypt are like those bad figs. I consider them to be just like those bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten.I will bring such disaster on them that all the kingdoms of the earth will be horrified. I will make them an object of reproach, a proverbial example of disaster. I will make them an object of ridicule, an example to be used in curses. That is how they will be remembered wherever I banish them.I will bring war, starvation, and disease on them until they are completely destroyed from the land I gave them and their ancestors.’”

One basket had very good-looking figs in it. They looked like those that had ripened early. The other basket had very bad-looking figs in it, so bad they could not be eaten.

So put away all filth and evil excess and humbly welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.
