Evil eye @ Proverbs:23:6), figuratively, the envious or covetous. (Comp. Deuteronomy:15:9; Matthew:20:15.)

Evil-merodach @ Merodach's man, the son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon ( 2Kings:25:27; Jeremiah:52:31-34). He seems to have reigned but two years (B.C. 562-560). Influenced probably by Daniel, he showed kindness to Jehoiachin, who had been a prisoner in Babylon for thirty-seven years. He released him, and "spoke kindly to him." He was murdered by Nergal-sharezer=Neriglissar, his brother-in-law, who succeeded him Jeremiah:39:3 Jeremiah:39:13).

Evil-speaking @ is expressly forbidden Titus:3:2; James:4:11), and severe punishments are denounced against it ( 1Corinthians:5:11 1Corinthians:6:10). It is spoken of also with abhorrence Psalms:15:3; Proverbs:18:6-7), and is foreign to the whole Christian character and the example of Christ.
