Psalms 140:11

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

140:11. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth. For that would be an established plague, a perpetual curse. God will not allow the specious orators of falsehood to retain the power they temporarily obtain by their deceitful speaking. They may become prominent, but they cannot become permanent. All evil bears the element of decay within itself; for what is it but corruption?

Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. He hunted the good, and now his own evil will hunt him. He tried to overthrow the goings of the righteous, and now his own unrighteousness will prove his overthrow.
