¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:

³ They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah

⁶ And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

⁴ My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

³ Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

⁴ That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

¹¹ If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.

²¹ His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: `They are' like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,

⁷ Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, `say they', doth hear?

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

³³ Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.
