Psalm 58:3-5

Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies. Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be. 

Even from birth the wicked go astray 
Psalm 51:5  Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Genesis 6:5  The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
Genesis 8:21  The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done."

from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies 
John 8:44  "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Their venom is like the venom of a snake 
Numbers 21:6  Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.
Psalm 140:3  They make their tongues as sharp as a serpents; the poison of vipers is on their lips.
Matthew 23:33  "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?"
James 3:8  ... but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears 
Psalm 81:11  "But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me."

that will not heed the tune of the charmer 
Ecclesiastes 10:11  If a snake bites before it is charmed, the charmer receives no fee.
Jeremiah 8:17  "See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you," declares the LORD.
