³ They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.

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

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

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}

⁷ For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.

⁸ But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

³ But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

¹³ "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"

¹⁴ "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."

³⁴ You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

⁵ They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

³ They bend their tongue, [as it were] their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don't know me, says Yahweh.

¹³ transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

³ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.

⁴ None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁵ They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

³² In the end, it bites like a snake, And poisons like a viper.

¹⁸ There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, But the tongue of the wise heals.

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

⁴ To shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

⁷ Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"

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

³ You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

¹³ Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
