their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
“Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.”
Why do we sit still? Gather together; let us go into the fortified cities and perish there, for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish and has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah
yet his food is turned in his stomach; it is the venom of cobras within him. He swallows down riches and vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly. He will suck the poison of cobras; the tongue of a viper will kill him.
