Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Your tongue devises mischief; 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.
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and those who love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
If the iron be blunt, and he does not sharpen the edge, then must he put forth more strength: but wisdom is profitable to guide.
For, behold, I will send serpents, vipers, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
