Psalms 58:4

Read in context

Psalms 58:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.

4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,

5 refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.

6 O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
