They shall be wasted with hunger, devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of the serpents of the dust.

Rejoice not, all you of Philistia, because the rod that struck you is broken; for a viper comes forth from the root of the serpent, and his offspring shall be a fiery flying serpent.

It is as if a man fled before a lion, and a bear met him. Or he goes into the house and leans his hand against the wall, and a snake bites him.

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there. Even if they hide from My eyes in the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and he will bite them.

For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent, like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,

which will not heed the charmer's voice, who charms so skillfully.

The snake may bite if it is not charmed; and a master of the tongue is no better.
