Psalms 58:3-9

3The wicked are estranged from the womb; They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,

5Which will not heed the voice of charmers, Charming ever so skillfully.

6Break their teeth in their mouth, O God! Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!

7Let them flow away as waters which run continually; When he bends his bow, Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.

8Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes, Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, As in His living and burning wrath.
