This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Their throat is an open sepulchre; he proceeds to instance in the corruption of man with respect to the members of his body; and he mentions the organs of speech in four several expressions, much to the same purpose: the first is allegorical, taken out of Psa_5:9, upon which see the annotations.



With their tongues they have used deceit; this text doth plainly express the corruption of the tongue, because of lies, calumnies, perjuries, flatteries; and it is taken out of Jer_9:3-5.



The poison of asps is under their lips: the third expression is allegorical, as the first, taken out of Psa_140:3, upon which see the annotations.
