Psalm 58:3-8
The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.

Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
