12. "Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,though he hide it under his tongue,

13. though he spare it, and will not let it go,but keep it still within his mouth;

14. yet his food in his bowels is turned.It is cobra venom within him.

15. He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again.God will cast them out of his belly.

16. He shall suck cobra venom.The viper's tongue shall kill him.

12. They SINg to the tambourine and harp,and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

13. They spend their days in prosperity.In an instant they go down to Sheol.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
