New Testament

Psalm 58:2-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

2. No, in your hearts you plan to be unfair. With your hands you do terrible things on the earth.

3. Even from birth those who are evil go down the wrong path. From the day they are born they go the wrong way and speak lies.

4. Their words are like the poison of a snake. They are like the poison of a cobra that has covered up its ears.

5. It won't listen to any tune of a snake charmer, even if the charmer really plays well.

6. God, break the teeth in the mouths of those sinners! Lord, tear out the sharp teeth of those lions!

7. Let those people disappear like water that flows away. When they draw their bows, let their arrows be dull.
