But the tongue can no man tame. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

"Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they have deceived." "The poison of Asps is under their lips."

A babbler of his tongue is no better than a serpent that stingeth without hissing.

Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel gall of asps.

Their mouths are softer than butter, and yet have they battle in their mind: their words are smoother than oil, and yet be they very swords.

I lie with my soul among the cruel lions; even among the children of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

They are as venomous as the poison of a serpent, even like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ears,

Behold, they speak against me with their mouth, and swords are under their lips, for who reproveth them?

who have whet their tongue like a sword, and shoot out their arrows, even bitter words,

and the tongue is fire, and a world of wickedness. So is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth afire all that we have of nature, and is itself set afire, even of hell.

And the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan; Was cast out. Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out also.
