                                    9 For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it.                                

                                    9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.                                

                                    9 There is (T)nothing (i)reliable in (j)what they say;Their (U)inward part is destruction itself.Their (V)throat is an open grave;They (k)flatter with their tongue.
