They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. ¹ 

The whole earth ¹  had a common language and a common vocabulary. ² 

“Refrain from talking ¹  with me so that ²  I may speak; then let come to me ³  what may. ⁴ 

For the ear assesses ¹  words as the mouth ²  tastes food.

When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, ² 

Remove perverse speech ¹  from your mouth; ²  keep devious talk far from your lips. ³ 

The one who denounces ¹  his neighbor lacks wisdom, ²  but the one who has discernment ³  keeps silent. ⁴ 

A gentle response ¹  turns away anger, but a harsh word ²  stirs up wrath. ³ 

Now ¹  the spirits ²  gathered the kings and their armies ³  to the place that is called Armageddon ⁴  in Hebrew.

And during the reign ¹  of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, ²  Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their colleagues ³  wrote to King Artaxerxes ⁴  of Persia. This letter ⁵  was first written in Aramaic but then translated. [Aramaic:] ⁶

When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ¹  ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? You are hurting yourself ²  by kicking against the goads.’ ³ 

Can you put a cord through its nose, or pierce its jaw with a hook?

So my heart rejoices and I am happy; ¹  My life is safe. ² 

They will proclaim ¹  the power of your awesome acts! I will declare your great deeds!

to deliver you ¹  from the adulteress, ²  from the sexually loose woman ³  who speaks flattering ⁴  words; ⁵ 

When words abound, transgression is inevitable, ¹  but the one who restrains ²  his words ³  is wise.

With his speech ¹  the godless person ²  destroys ³  his neighbor, but by knowledge ⁴  the righteous will be delivered.

The one who guards his words ¹  guards his life, but ²  whoever is talkative ³  will come to ruin. ⁴ 

A person’s wisdom ¹  makes him slow to anger, ²  and it is his glory ³  to overlook ⁴  an offense.
