The description of the wicked's mouth full of cursing and deceit and oppression under his tongue establishes speech as vehicle of wickedness and harm. The progression from cursing to deceit to oppression suggests escalating forms of speech-based harm, making language the wicked's primary weapon. The mouth imagery emphasizes that wickedness flows naturally from the wicked's being, making evil speech integral to the wicked's character. This verse suggests that the problem of wickedness manifests first and most fundamentally in corrupted language.
