- તેમની જીભ જીવલેણ બાણ જેવી છે, તેઓ કપટ બોલે છે. તેઓ મુખથી પોતાના પડોશી સાથે શાંતિથી બોલે છે, પણ મનમાં એકબીજાને ફસાવવાના ઘાટ ઘડે છે.

- उनकी जीभ काल के तीर के समान बेधनेवाली है, उससे छल की बातें निकलती हैं; वे मुँह से तो एक दूसरे से मेल की बात बोलते हैं पर मन ही मन एक दूसरे की घात में लगे रहते हैं।
