Romans 3:13 Context
11There is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become vnprofitable, there is none that doeth good, no not one. 13Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they haue vsed deceit, the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes: 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse: 15Their feet are swift to shed blood.

Wesley's Notes for Romans 3:13
3:13 Their throat - Is noisome and dangerous as an open sepulchre. Observe the progress of evil discourse, proceeding out of the heart, through the throat, tongue, lips, till the whole mouth is filled therewith. The poison of asps - Infectious, deadly backbiting, tale - bearing, evil - speaking, is under (for honey is on) their lips. An asp is a venomous kind of serpent. #Psalm 5:9|; Psalm 140:3.
