He conceives vexation, and brings forth falsehood, falsehood breeds falsehood.

Behold, he hatches evil, conceives mischief, and brings forth falsehood.
1.....(7.11)
He conceives vexation, and brings forth falsehood, falsehood breeds falsehood.
1.
Behold, he travails...
Hebrew: יחבל (yechabbel) an expression of conception and birth.
2.
he conceives mischief, and gives birth to lies.
Whatever he begets and toils, everything betrays him. The adage says: Whatever lies beget, diminution takes.
1.
Behold, he travails with iniquity; he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
He compares the thoughts of the heart with conception, and says their issuing in speech or conduct is like the pangs of a woman at childbirth. If so, the comparison is between speech and birth-pains, and (between) conduct and childbearing. And he says that he speaks evil, because he has conceived it in his heart and brought it forth in his mouth for execution. And iniquity and mischief and. falsehood have all one meaning, though the words are different.

[חָבַל] (chabal)
Is a rope or cord for measuring or binding.
From this idea of binding and tightening, we derive the concept of spasms, of cramps: [חבלימ] travail, labor pains. .
(chabal) is the expression for the act of childbirth.
It is similar to what we mean when we say “deliver”, only in the case of "deliver", it is the mother who constitutes the object of “being delivered” from the child, while in the Hebrew (CHABAL) the object is the child loosening its tie with the mother's body.
2.
[עָמָל] (amal)
denotes travail, trouble.
It receives the connotation of “wrong” only through the import of the trouble thus prepared for another person.
All the trouble he has planned for others he has actually prepared only for himself, for (hinneyh yechabbel–ʾoven) it is obvious that he does not wish to bring forth anything that is good or right.
Therefore, he has conceived his own trouble and will bring forth falsehood — a miscarriage. More, he shall bring into the world something that will prove to be quite the opposite of that which he originally desired. The lawless man accomplishes falsehood (actually the wages of falsehood, that which he earns by himself with his own labor).
But he who sows devotion to duty shall reap for himself the wages of truth.
