Notes
Text accompanies this work. It is Psalm 140,11-12. "A man full of evil words shall not prosper on earth: Evil shall hunt the wicked man to overthrow him". "Ein boses maul wird kein gluck haben ouf erden. Ein frevler, boser mensch wird gejagt und gesturzt werden. M.Luther". "An evil mouth won't have luck on earth, an evil, wanton man will be chased and overthrown". It describes the whole career of the man. Perhaps one could call the print "The Evil Mouth". The Psalms of David. St James verson Psalm 140 ll. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthow him. 12. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor".
