Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.58
[1] Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do
ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
[2] Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the
violence of your hands in the earth.
[3] The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray
as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
[4] Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are
like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
[5] Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
charming never so wisely.
[6] Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out
the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
[7] 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.
[8] As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass
away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see
the sun.
[9] Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take
them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
[10] The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the
vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
[11] So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for
the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
