12“Though aevil is sweet in his mouth
And he hides it under his tongue,
13Though he 1desires it and will not let it go,
14Yet his food in his stomach is changed
To the 1venom of cobras within him.

it will become the venom of serpents within him.

Though evil tastes sweet in his mouth
and he conceals it under his tongue,
though he cherishes it and will not let it go
but keeps it in his mouth,
yet the food in his stomach turns
into cobras’ venom inside him.

NLTNew Living Translation
“They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness,
letting it melt under their tongue.
They savored it,
holding it long in their mouths.
But suddenly the food in their bellies turns sour,
a poisonous venom in their stomach.

“Though wickedness tastes sweet in his mouth,
and he hides it under his tongue,
though he spares it and does not let it go
and holds it back in the midst of his palate,
in his bowels his food is turned,
the venom of horned vipers is within him.

KJV 1900King James Version
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,
Though he hide it under his tongue;
Though he spare it, and forsake it not;
But keep it still within his mouth:
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned,
It is the gall of asps within him.
