Proverbs16:27
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil , and in his lips there is as a burning fire .
Inventeth or designeth mischief to others▪ and prosecuteth his evil designs with great and constant industry.
As his thoughts, so also his words are very vexatious and pernicious; his Tongue is set on fire of Hell, and sets himself and others on fire by lyes and slanders, and other provoking speeches.
Marginal references: Heb. a man of Belial.
