Their throat is an open grave, they are treacherous with their tongues, the venom of an asp lies under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, their feet are swift for bloodshed, their ways bring destruction and calamity, they know nothing of the way of peace; there is no reverence for God before their eyes.

if we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his word is not within us.
