Their poison[ is] like the poison of a serpent:[ they are] like the deaf adder[ that] stoppeth her ear;Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
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.
