8 They scoff, and speak with malice;

with arrogance they threaten oppression.

9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,

and their tongues take possession of the earth.

8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: They speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

8 They scoff and speak only evil;

in their pride they seek to crush others.

9 They boast against the very heavens,

and their words strut throughout the earth.

8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;

They speak loftily.

9 They set their mouth against the heavens,

And their tongue walks through the earth.

8 They make fun of others and speak evil;

proudly they speak of hurting others.

9 They brag to the sky.

They say that they own the earth.

8 They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression:

They speak loftily.

9 They have set their mouth in the heavens,

And their tongue walketh through the earth.

8 They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily: 9 They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

8 They ridicule. 

They speak maliciously. 

They speak arrogantly about oppression. 

9 They verbally attack heaven, 

and they order people around on earth. 

8 They mock, and they speak maliciously;

they arrogantly threaten oppression.

9 They set their mouths against heaven,

and their tongues strut across the earth.

8 They scoff and speak with malice;

loftily they threaten oppression.

9 They set their mouths against heaven,

and their tongues range over the earth.

8 They mock and speak maliciously of oppression;

they speak as though from on high.

9 They set their mouth against the heavens,

and their tongue roams the earth.

8 They laugh at others and speak words of hatred.

They are proud. They warn others about the harm they can do to them.

9 They brag as if they owned heaven itself.

They talk as if they controlled the earth.

8 They mock and wickedly speak of oppression;

They speak from on high.

9 They have set their mouth against the heavens,

And their tongue parades through the earth.
