New International Version (NIV) |
|
34 "You have minds like a snake pit! How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It's your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words.
|
34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
