Psalm 58:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 The wicked have gone astray right from the womb;
from birth these liars have taken the wrong path.[a]
5 Their venom is like that of a serpent;
they are as deaf as an asp that stops its ears
6 so as not to hear the voice of the charmer
no matter how skillful the spells he casts.[b]
