"winking, covering the
eye, froward tongue"
Scripture lines concerning:
Winking.
Covering one eye.
Froward tongue.
Isaiah 57:1-5
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and
merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous
is taken away from the evil to come.
[2] He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds,
each one walking in his uprightness.
[3] But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of
the adulterer and the whore.
[4] Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a
wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of
transgression, a seed of falsehood,
[5] Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the
rocks?
Zechariah 11:15-17
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of
a foolish shepherd.
[16] For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which
shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the
young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that
standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear
their claws in pieces.
[17] Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword
shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be
clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Psalm 35:19-21
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
[20] For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters
against them that are quiet in the land.
[21] Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said,
Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Proverbs 6:12-15
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
[13] He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he
teacheth with his fingers;
[14] Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief
continually; he soweth discord.
[15] Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall
he be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 10:10-11
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool
shall fall.
[11] The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but
violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Jeremiah 9:1-16
Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of
my people!
[2] Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring
men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be
all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
[3] 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.
[4] Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in
any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every
neighbour will walk with slanders.
[5] And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not
speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies,
and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
[6] Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit
they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
[7] Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt
them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my
people?
[8] Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit:
one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in
heart he layeth his wait.
[9] Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD:
shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
[10] For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and
for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because
they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither
can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the
heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
[11] And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
[12] Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is
he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may
declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a
wilderness, that none passeth through?
[13] And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which
I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked
therein; [14] But have walked after the imagination of their own
heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
[15] Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and
give them water of gall to drink.
[16] I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither
they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after
them, till I have consumed them.
