2No, in your hearts you devise injustice;
with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb;
the liars go astray from birth.
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer
who skillfully weaves his spell.
— Psalm 58:2-5
