Psalms 58:4
King James VersionSource notes
“Their poison like the poison of a serpent: like the deaf adder stoppeth her ear;”
Context
1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4Their poison like the poison of a serpent: like the deaf adder stoppeth her ear;
5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7Let them melt away as waters run continually: he bendeth his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
