Psalm 58:3

A Cry Against Injustice

²
No, in your heart you devise wrongdoing;
On earth you deal out the violence of your hands.
³

⁴
Their poison is like the venom of a serpent;
They are like the deaf horned viper that stops up its ear,

Ephesians 2:3

Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God’s] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind].
