Ps 5:9. Why does the Bible say that the throat of the wicked “is an open grave”? (it-2 1005).
In Psalm 5:9, the Bible describes the throat of the wicked as an open grave, to metaphorically illustrate that, just as an open tomb is filled with the dead and corruption, the mouths of the wicked utter deadly and corrupt words. This image reflects the harmfulness of the deceitful and malicious words that can come from the mouths of those who act evilly.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
This verse teaches us to reflect on the impact of our words on others and strive to communicate in ways that promote kindness and love. Instead of using our words to destroy or discourage others, we should look for opportunities to encourage, support, and edify those around us.
Here the Bible makes a symbolic comparison to illustrate how the words and actions of the wicked can be just as destructive and corrupting as a tomb full of decay. Just as an open tomb is filled with death, the mouths of the wicked utter deadly and corrupt words that can harm others.
When we hear the expression: "An open grave" it is used to refer to an action that is carried out disregarding, in a real or figurative sense, a positive danger of death. When the Bible says that the throat of the wicked is an open grave, it refers to their throat opening to speak what is deadly and corrupt. That is to say, the wicked use their power of speech to despise and speak corrupt things.Psalm 5:9 that the apostle Paul quoted describes the throat of the wicked as an open tomb, because what they say cannot be trusted, since their insides are full of malice so their mouth is like an open tomb that He utters harmful words and false flattery that reflect the hypocrisy and evil that resides in his heart. So these deceitful and malicious words can be as destructive as a tomb full of corruption.
This teaches us how powerful words are, there are people who are experts and artists of deception, and they harm others with their words. Some, through honeyed words, manage to convince others to fall into their traps and their deceptions. Therefore we must be very careful of these types of people and we should not be like that either.
In other words we mean or the comment on the insight publication means that when he speaks he says it is deadly and corrupt and not necessarily because he says it like that I am going to kill you or I am going to kill you or kill you or things like that but it goes against the truth against the Biblical principles goes against the law of God even that of man and so that is why then his mouth is like the grave it does not receive and draw and not only does he harm himself in what he says but he can also end up harm many others.
If Matthew 15:18 to 20 is showing precisely what this open tomb can be, it tells us that they are evil reasonings such as adultery, murder, theft, false testimonies, sexual immorality, blasphemy, then all this defiles man.
And in harmony with the text of Matthew we could now say that the importance of what we put in our hearts is because our mouth speaks about what we put in our hearts.
All the corrupted teachings of false religion are what make people feel more confused and reluctant to hear what is the truth that Jehovah wants them to hear, and this is what frees them from their condemnation to destruction for not knowing or for not wanting to know Jehovah, this opportunity is obviously given to them when they are preached more, however the confusion that comes with being taught false things is what causes their death and these are the ones who open their mouths like a grave are those who become murderers.
