Psalm 59:7
“Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?”
KJV
Read in Psalm 59Meaning
The danger is verbal as well as physical. Violent language, slander, threats, and contempt are presented as morally serious because speech can wound, intimidate, and prepare the ground for further harm.
Read carefully
The context concerns threatening, arrogant hostility; legitimate correction and disagreement should not be collapsed into violent abuse.
Reflection
Take harmful speech seriously, document credible threats, seek appropriate support, and resist answering abuse with further abuse.
