And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
