Their wine is snake venom, the deadly poison of cobras.
They make their tongues as sharp as a snake’s ⌞fang⌟. Their lips hide the venom of poisonous snakes. Selah
They have poisonous venom like snakes. They are like a deaf cobra that shuts its ears
so that it cannot hear the voice of a snake charmer or of anyone trained to cast spells.
Why are we just sitting here? Let’s get up! Let’s go into the fortified cities and die there. The Lord our God has condemned us to die. He has given us poison to drink because we have sinned against the Lord.
Their throats are open graves. Their tongues practice deception. Their lips hide the venom of poisonous snakes.
Their grapevines come from the vineyards of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous, and their clusters are bitter.
Isn’t this what I’ve stored under lock and key in my storehouses?
