These are Ham’s sons by their clans, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

“Come, let’s go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”

“But against all the Israelites, whether people or animals, not even a dog will snarl,[fn] so that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

“When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Babylon,[fn] five pounds[fn] of silver, and a bar of gold weighing a pound and a quarter,[fn] I coveted them and took them. You can see for yourself. They are concealed in the ground inside my tent, with the silver under the cloak.”

The people returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah. And no one dared to threaten the Israelites.

So he brought the troops down to the water, and the LORD said to Gideon, “Separate everyone who laps water with his tongue like a dog. Do the same with everyone who kneels to drink.”

The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me,

his word was on my tongue.

You will be safe from slander[fn]

and not fear destruction when it comes.

Is there injustice on my tongue

or can my palate not taste disaster?

Though evil tastes sweet in his mouth

and he conceals it under his tongue,

He will suck the poison of cobras;

a viper’s fangs[fn] will kill him.

The noblemen’s voices were hushed,

and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.

I am going to open my mouth;

my tongue will form words on my palate.

For there is nothing reliable in what they say;

destruction is within them;

their throat is an open grave;

they flatter with their tongues.

Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;

trouble and malice are under his tongue.

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips

and the tongue that speaks boastfully.

All have turned away;

all alike have become corrupt.

There is no one who does good,

not even one.

who does not slander with his tongue,

who does not harm his friend

or discredit his neighbor,

Therefore my heart is glad

and my whole being rejoices;

my body also rests securely.

My strength is dried up like baked clay;

my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.

You put me into the dust of death.

You hide them in the protection of your presence;

you conceal them in a shelter

from human schemes,

from quarrelsome tongues.

Keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from deceitful speech.

And my tongue will proclaim your righteousness,

your praise all day long.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom;

his tongue speaks what is just.

I said, “I will guard my ways

so that I may not sin with my tongue;

I will guard my mouth with a muzzle

as long as the wicked are in my presence.”

My heart grew hot within me;

as I mused, a fire burned.

I spoke with my tongue:

My heart is moved by a noble theme

as I recite my verses to the king;

my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

“You unleash your mouth for evil

and harness your tongue for deceit.

Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God —

God of my salvation —

and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

Like a sharpened razor,

your tongue devises destruction,

working treachery.

You love any words that destroy,

you treacherous tongue!

Lord, confuse[fn] and confound their speech,[fn]

for I see violence and strife in the city;

I am surrounded by lions;

I lie down among devouring lions —

people whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

who sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim bitter words like arrows,

They will be made to stumble;

their own tongues work against them.

All who see them will shake their heads.

I cried out to him with my mouth,

and praise was on my tongue.

“so that your foot may wade[fn] in blood

and your dogs’ tongues may have their share

from the enemies.”

Therefore, my tongue will proclaim

your righteousness all day long,

for those who intend to harm me

will be disgraced and confounded.

They set their mouths against heaven,

and their tongues strut across the earth.

But they deceived him with their mouths,

they lied to him with their tongues,

He set it up as a decree for Joseph

when he went throughout[fn] the land of Egypt.

I heard an unfamiliar language:

For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me;

they speak against me with lying tongues.

My tongue sings about your promise,

for all your commands are righteous.

“LORD, rescue me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.”

Our mouths were filled with laughter then,

and our tongues with shouts of joy.

Then they said among the nations,

“The LORD has done great things for them.”
