King James Version with Apocrypha
"Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;"
— Psalms 58:4, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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 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;”
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
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.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
