Their poison {is} like the poison of a serpent: {they are} like the deaf adder {that} stoppeth her ear; {like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}

For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which {will} not {be} charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Who whet their tongue like a sword, {and} bend {their bows to shoot} their arrows, {even} bitter words:

And the tongue {is} a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. {course: Gr. wheel}

Death and life {are} in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

But the tongue can no man tame; {it is} an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which {will} not {be} charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

A fool's mouth {is} his destruction, and his lips {are} the snare of his soul.

Their poison {is} like the poison of a serpent: {they are} like the deaf adder {that} stoppeth her ear; {like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}
