Their wine is the poison of dragons and the deadly venom of cobras.
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent’s; under their lips is the venom of vipers. Selah
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; they are like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
and will not listen to the voice of charmers, charming ever so cunningly.
Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter the fortified cities and let us perish there. For the Lord our God has doomed us and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
“Their throats are an open grave; with their tongues they have used deceit”; “the poison of vipers is under their lips”;
For their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
Is not this laid up in store with Me and sealed up among My treasures?
