Mischiefs

• Heart

Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

• Doeg
• Deception

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.

I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

• Heart

For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

• Devise
• Vanity

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

• Idolatry
• Power
• Seal

I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

• Wisdom

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. read more The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. show less

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

• Heart
• Slander

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
