“Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:”
Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. From Psalm 5:9 and 140:3. The speech of sinful humanity—the opening of graves suggests decay and death, deceit corrupts discourse, venom poisons words. Speech becomes the instrument through which sin manifests itself.
