Jeremiah 9:2-5
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging- place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Psalms 64:3-8
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.
