New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 “Though wickedness is sweet in their mouth,
though they hide it under their tongues,(A)
13 though they are loath to let it go
and hold it in their mouths,
14 yet their food is turned in their stomachs;
it is the venom of asps within them.
15 They swallow down riches and vomit them up again;
God casts them out of their bellies.
16 They will suck the poison of asps;
the tongue of a viper will kill them.(B)
17 They will not look on the rivers,
the streams flowing with honey and curds.(C)
18 They will give back the fruit of their toil
and will not swallow it down;
from the profit of their trading
they will get no enjoyment.(D)
19 For they have crushed and abandoned the poor;
they have seized a house that they did not build.(E)
20 “For they knew no quiet in their bellies;
in their greed they let nothing escape.(F)
