Psalms 59:12

The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which they utter!

Noyes Bible

In The King James Version

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

In Context

13Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! [[Pause.]]
