Explore this passage in the graph12“Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it under his tongue, 13though he is loath to let it go
and holds it in his mouth, 14yet his food is turned in his stomach;
it is the venom of cobras within him. 15He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly. 16He will suck the poison of cobras;
the tongue of a viper will kill him. 17He will not look upon the rivers,
the streams flowing with honey and curds. 18He will give back the fruit of his toil
and will not swallow it down;
from the profit of his trading
he will get no enjoyment. 19For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build. 20“Because he knew no contentment in his belly,
he will not let anything in which he delights escape him. Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
