⁸ and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, `it is' an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,

¹³ A sepulchre opened `is' their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps `is' under their lips.

³ They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder `is' under their lips. Selah.

⁶ and the tongue `is' a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.

⁴ My soul `is' in the midst of lions, I lie down `among' flames -- sons of men, Their teeth `are' a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

³ Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.

⁴ To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

¹¹ If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is no advantage to a master of the tongue.

²¹ Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart `is' war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they `are' drawn `swords'.

⁴ Their poison `is' as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,

⁷ Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords `are' in their lips, for `Who heareth?'

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth -- the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world -- he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

³³ The poison of dragons `is' their wine And the fierce venom of asps.
