Psalm 73:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Out of such blindness comes sin;
evil thoughts flood their hearts.(A)
8 They scoff and spout their malice;
from on high they utter threats.(B)
9 [a]They set their mouths against the heavens,
their tongues roam the earth.
Footnotes
- 73:9 They set their mouths against the heavens: in an image probably derived from mythic stories of half-divine giants, the monstrous speech of the wicked is likened to enormous jaws gaping wide, devouring everything in sight.
