Psalms 140:10


← Psalms 140:9 Psalms 140:10 (KJV) Psalms 140:11 →
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
