The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.

Lord, those who reject Your offer of redemption, who are determined to follow their own paths and trust in their own strength must be brought to their knees. It will happen, either now or before Your Judgment Seat when every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God and Lord of the Universe.
