For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart is mischiefs, An open grave is their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
