--Psalms-- Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear (58:4) Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely (58:5) --Ecclesiastes-- Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. (10:11) --Jeremiah-- For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which [will] not [be] charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord. (8:17) |
