Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(13) Their throat is an open sepulchre--i.e., their speech is at once corrupt and corrupting. It is compared to a "yawning grave"--not merely to a pit into which a man may fall, but to a sort of pestiferous chasm yawning and ravening, as it were, after its prey.
They have used deceit.--Strictly, they were deceiving; a continued action brought up to the present time.
Under their lips.--As the poison-bag of the serpent is directly under the kind of tooth by which its venom is discharged.
