Would you testify unjustly on God’s behalf

or speak deceitfully for him?

Yes, this will result in my deliverance,

for no godless person can appear before him.

They conceive trouble and give birth to evil;

their womb prepares deception.

If I have walked in falsehood

or my foot has rushed to deceit,

Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;

trouble and malice are under his tongue.

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who has not appealed to[fn] what is false,

and who has not sworn deceitfully.

How joyful is a person whom

the LORD does not charge with iniquity

and in whose spirit is no deceit!

Keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from deceitful speech.

For they do not speak in friendly ways,

but contrive fraudulent schemes[fn]

against those who live peacefully in the land.

The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive;

he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.

Like a sharpened razor,

your tongue devises destruction,

working treachery.

destruction is inside it;

oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.

A sly wink of the eye causes grief,

and foolish lips will be destroyed.

The thoughts of the righteous are just,

but guidance from the wicked is deceitful.

Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,

but those who promote peace have joy.

A contrary person spreads conflict,

and a gossip separates close friends.

Smooth[fn] lips with an evil heart

are like glaze on an earthen vessel.

Though his hatred is concealed by deception,

his evil will be revealed in the assembly.

For every trampling boot of battle

and the bloodied garments of war

will be burned as fuel for the fire.

He was assigned a grave with the wicked,

but he was with a rich man at his death,

because he had done no violence

and had not spoken deceitfully.

“Like a cage full of birds,

so their houses are full of deceit.

Therefore they have grown powerful and rich.

You live in a world of deception.[fn]

In their deception they refuse to know me.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“ ‘Because you maintained a perpetual hatred and gave the Israelites over to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment,

“He will cause deceit to prosper

through his cunning and by his influence,

and in his own mind he will exalt himself.

He will destroy many in a time of peace;

he will even stand against the Prince of princes.

Yet he will be broken ​— ​not by human hands.

“After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully. He will rise to power with a small nation.[fn]

“Can I excuse wicked scales

or bags of deceptive weights?

On that day I will punish

all who skip over the threshold,[fn]

who fill their master’s house

with violence and deceit.
