By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
The sin of their mouth is a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
[Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.
