An ungodly man diggeth up evil Invents or designs mischief to others, and prosecutes his evil designs with great and constant industry; in his lips is as a burning coal 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 lies, slanders, and other provoking speeches. A froward man Or perverse, who perverteth his words and ways; soweth strife By speaking such things as may provoke one against another; and a whisperer Who secretly carries tales from one to another; separateth chief friends Makes a breach between those who were most dear to one another.
