Their poison is like the venom of a serpent;
They are like the deaf horned viper that stops up its ear,

When my heart was embittered
And I was pierced within [as with the fang of an adder],

You will tread upon the lion and cobra;
The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

They sharpen their tongues like a serpent’s;
Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.
