“Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”;
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Have you not seen a futile vision, and have you not spoken false divination? You say, ‘The Lord says,’ but I have not spoken.”
For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity.
Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.”
Their quiver is like an open tomb; They are all mighty men.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of cobras.
They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
