Psalms 36:3

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, [and] to do good.

The words {H1697} of his mouth {H6310} are iniquity {H205} and deceit {H4820}: he hath left off {H2308} to be wise {H7919}{H8687)}, and to do good {H3190}{H8687)}.

His words are wrong and deceitful; he has stopped being wise and doing good.

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.
