An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 16 of Proverbs. The path that seems right can end in death, so personal perception requires wisdom’s correction. The worker, the perverse person, the gossip, and the violent person appear as examples of how everyday conduct can produce destruction. The chapter ends by affirming that the lot may be cast, but its outcome is under the Lord’s control, reinforcing divine sovereignty over apparently random events.

Ein loser Mensch gräbt nach Unglück, und in seinem Maul brennt Feuer.
El hombre perverso cava el mal; Y en sus labios hay como llama de fuego.
El hombre vil cava en busca del mal; en sus labios hay como un fuego abrasador.
L'homme pervers prépare le malheur, Et il y a sur ses lèvres comme un feu ardent.
L’uomo scellerato apparecchia del male; E in su le sue labbra vi è come un fuoco ardente.
O homem ímpio cava o mal, e nos seus lábios há como que uma fogueira.
匪徒圖謀奸惡, 嘴唇上的言語彷彿燒焦的火。
