Words of Wisdom
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

And the way of peace have they not known:
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
