Psalm 73:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

8 They scoff and spout their malice;
    from on high they utter threats.(A)
9 [a]They set their mouths against the heavens,
    their tongues roam the earth.
10 [b]So my people turn to them
    and drink deeply of their words.

  2. 73:10 The Hebrew is obscure.
