Their poison {is} like the poison of a serpent: {they are} like the deaf adder {that} stoppeth her ear; {like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}

Their throat {is} an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps {is} under their lips:

Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. {gall: or, poison}

{Yet} his meat in his bowels is turned, {it is} the gall of asps within him.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison {is} under their lips. Selah.

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

Their throat {is} an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps {is} under their lips:

Their poison {is} like the poison of a serpent: {they are} like the deaf adder {that} stoppeth her ear; {like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
