Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but the mouth of the wicked ones speaks perverse things” or “but the mouth of the wicked ones expresses perverse things”
