Psalms [Praises] 58:4-8

⁴Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

⁵which does not sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

⁶Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Adonai .

⁷Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

⁸Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
