The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
The words of their mouths
Psalm 10:7 His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
are wicked and deceitful
Job 5:13 "He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away."
Psalm 5:5-6 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest."
Psalm 5:9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.
Psalm 43:1 Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.
Psalm 144:7-8 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. (also Psalm 144:11)
Isaiah 44:19-20 No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, "Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?" Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"
they fail to act wisely or do good
Psalm 94:8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
