Psalms 73:9

They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

They set {H8371}{H8804)} their mouth {H6310} against the heavens {H8064}, and their tongue {H3956} walketh {H1980}{H8799)} through the earth {H776}.

They set their mouths against heaven; their tongues swagger through the earth.

They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.

They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
