Unto a serpent's poison like their poison doth appear; Yea, they are like the adder deaf, that closely stops her ear;
Much like unto a serpent's tongue their tongues they sharp do make; And underneath their lips there lies the poison of a snake.
Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, I shall be cleansed so; Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall be whiter than the snow.
