Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Your tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
