American Standard Version
"Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear, "
— Psalms 58:4, American Standard Version
“Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;”
“Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,”
“Their venom is like that of a snake, like a deaf serpent that does not hear,”
“For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:”
“Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;”
“Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;”
Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
