Proverbs 24:2
For their heart studieth destruction, And their lips talk of mischief.
In context
1 Be not thou envious against evil men, Neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, And their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; And by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
5 A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
