“ Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.”( Psalm 5:9)“ The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.”( Psalm 140:3)

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓；他们用舌头弄诡诈，嘴唇里有虺蛇的毒气，

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓；他们的舌头玩弄诡诈。他们的嘴唇里有毒蛇的毒液，

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓；他们的舌头玩弄诡诈。他们的嘴唇里有毒蛇的毒液，

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓，舌头上尽是诡诈，嘴唇有蛇的毒液，

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓，他们用舌头弄诡诈，他们嘴里有虺蛇的毒，

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓，他们用舌头玩弄诡诈，他们的嘴唇含有蛇毒，

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓；他們用舌頭弄詭詐，嘴唇裏有虺蛇的毒氣，

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓；他們的舌頭玩弄詭詐。他們的嘴唇裏有毒蛇的毒液，

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓；他們的舌頭玩弄詭詐。他們的嘴唇裏有毒蛇的毒液，

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓，舌頭上盡是詭詐，嘴唇有蛇的毒液，

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓，他們用舌頭弄詭詐，他們嘴裡有虺蛇的毒，

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墓；他們用舌頭弄欺詐；他們嘴脣下有虺蛇之毒氣；

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓，他們用舌頭玩弄詭詐，他們的嘴唇含有蛇毒，

厥喉如未封之墓、舌施詭詐、脣藏蝮毒、

厥喉似破塋、其舌施詭詐、其唇藏蝮毒、

其喉似已開之墓、其舌施詭詐、其唇藏蝮毒、

又云：『舌端弄詭譎、咽喉如荒墓；唇內藏辛螫、

“ Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“ The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

“ Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.”“ The venom of asps is under their lips.”

“ Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with lies.”“ Snake venom drips from their lips.”

Their throat is an open grave; they deceive with their tongues. Vipers’ venom is under their lips.

“ Their throat is an open grave, With their tongues they keep deceiving,”“ The venom of asps is under their lips”;

“ Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;“ The poison of asps is under their lips”;

Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:

Their throat is an open grave; they deceive with their tongues. Vipers’ venom is under their lips.

Their throat[ is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps[ is] under their lips:

“ Their throats are open graves, they deceive with their tongues, the poison of asps is under their lips.”

“ Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.”“ The poison of vipers is under their lips.”

Not a word from their mouths can be trusted. Their hearts are filled with a desire to hurt others. Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.

Their tongues are as deadly as the tongue of a serpent. The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.

May the Lord close all lips that don’t mean what they say. May he stop every tongue that brags.They say,“ What we speak with our tongues will win the battle. What we say with our lips will keep us safe. No one will have victory over us.”

Their wine is like the poison of snakes. It’s like the deadly poison of cobras.

Not at all! God is true, even if every human being is a liar. It is written,“ You are right when you sentence me. You are fair when you judge me.”( Psalm 51:4)

“ They get ready to use their tongues like bows,” announces the Lord.“ Their mouths shoot out lies like arrows. They tell lies to gain power in the land. They go from one sin to another. They do not pay any attention to me.Be on guard against your friends. Do not trust the members of your own family. Every one of them cheats. Every friend tells lies.One friend cheats another. No one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues how to lie. They wear themselves out sinning.

“ How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You are like tombs that are painted white. They look beautiful on the outside. But on the inside they are full of the bones of the dead. They are also full of other things that are not pure and‘ clean.’It is the same with you. On the outside you seem to be doing what is right. But on the inside you are full of what is wrong. You pretend to be what you are not.

You plan ways to destroy others. Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge. You are always telling lies.

Their mouths speak words that are evil and false. They do not act wisely or do what is good.

Your hands and fingers are stained with blood. You are guilty of committing murder. Your mouth has told lies. Your tongue says evil things.

You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up inside him. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up inside him.

Men who are like lions are all around me. I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are like sharp swords.

In the same way, the tongue is a small part of a person’s body. But it talks big. Think about how a small spark can set a big forest on fire.The tongue is also a fire. The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It makes the whole body impure. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. And the tongue itself is set on fire by hell.People have tamed all kinds of wild animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures. And they still tame them.But no one can tame the tongue. It is an evil thing that never rests. It is full of deadly poison.

The bags they carry their arrows in are like an open grave. All their soldiers are mighty.

You prophets have seen false visions. You have used magic to try to find out what is going to happen. But your magic tricks are lies. So you lied when you said,‘ The Lord announces.’ I did not even speak to you at all.”

But their food will turn sour in their stomachs. It will become like the poison of a serpent inside them.They will spit out the rich food they swallowed. God will make their stomachs throw it up.They will suck the poison of a serpent. The fangs of an adder will kill them.
