Romans 3:12-14
Contemporary English Version

12 They have all turned away
    and are worthless.
There isn't one person
    who does right.
13 (A) Their words are like
    an open pit,
and their tongues are good
    only for telling lies.
Each word is as deadly
    as the fangs of a snake,
14 (B) and they say nothing
    but bitter curses.
