What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!
Another related prayer, Lord, is that I be disciplined to avoid deceit and exaggeration in any way, in any manner, at any time in my conversation. I repent of those times I have succumbed to the urge to do so.
