SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:20

¶ El perverso de corazón nunca hallará bien; y el que revuelve con su lengua, caerá en mal.

---

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 20. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good , etc.] Who is of a perverse spirit, meditates and devises evil things; is not ingenuous and sincere, but false and deceitful to God and men: such an one gets no good from either; he obtains not the favour of God, nor a good name, credit, and reputation among men; and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief ; or “that turns himself”, or “is turned in his tongue” f503 ; whose tongue is changeable, as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; who sometimes says one thing, and sometimes another, and is not consistent with himself; as well as is contrary to all men: sooner or later he falls into mischief, into a pit, which he himself has dug for others; see ( James 3:6,8).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20 - There is nothing got by ill designs. And many have paid dear for a unbridled tongue.
