| 9 | For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. | For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. | For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue. |
