¹¹ If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer's tongue.

⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a snake; Like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

⁵ Which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, No matter how skillful the charmer may be.

¹⁷ For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Yahweh.

² Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

³ Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And aim their arrows, deadly words,

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue; Those who love it will eat its fruit.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.{Gehenna is a name that describes a burning Hell with rotting bodies and unclean things in it}
