The wicked go astray from the womb.
They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Psalms 58:3 in context
Psalms 58:1–6
1
Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones?
Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
2
No, in your heart you plot injustice.
You measure out the violence of your hands on the earth.
3
Selected verse
The wicked go astray from the womb.
They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4
Their poison is like the poison of a snake,
like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers,
no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
6
Break their teeth, God, in their mouth.
Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
