Psalms 58:5
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,
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.
7 May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
