¹⁴ The wicked conceive evil;
    they are pregnant with trouble
    and give birth to lies.

¹¹ You Assyrians produce nothing but dry grass and stubble.
    Your own breath will turn to fire and consume you.

³⁵ They conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
    Their womb produces deceit.”

²⁰ “The wicked writhe in pain throughout their lives.
    Years of trouble are stored up for the ruthless.

⁴ No one cares about being fair and honest.
    The people’s lawsuits are based on lies.
They conceive evil deeds
    and then give birth to sin.
⁵ They hatch deadly snakes
    and weave spiders’ webs.
Whoever eats their eggs will die;
    whoever cracks them will hatch a viper.
