They have sharpened their tongue as the tongue of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Pause |
Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit; The poison of asps is under their lips |
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adder’s poison is under their lips. Selah |
| Comments: The NT and the LXX agree. The MT uses the word akshub (adder) rather than pethen (asp or adder). |
