And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.

Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.

Ενετειναν και την γλωσσαν αυτων ως τοξον ψευδους· και ισχυσαν επι της γης, ουχι υπερ της αληθειας· διοτι προχωρουσιν απο κακιας εις κακιαν και εμε δεν γνωριζουσι, λεγει Κυριος.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.
