3. The wicked go astray from the womb;liars err from birth.
4. They have venom like the venom of a snake,like the deaf cobra that stops up its ears,
5. that does not listen to the sound of the charmerswho skillfully weave spells.
6. God, knock the teeth out of their mouths;Lord, tear out the young lions’ fangs.
7. They will vanish like water that flows by;they will aim their useless arrows.
8. Like a slug that moves along in slime,like a woman’s miscarried child,they will not see the sun.
9. Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns —whether green or burning —He will sweep them away.
