It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter.

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.

“ You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him,“ You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
