They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah
but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage to the charmer.
“Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.”
You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
For behold, I am sending among you serpents, adders that cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you,” declares the Lord.
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
He will suck the poison of cobras; the tongue of a viper will kill him.
yet his food is turned in his stomach; it is the venom of cobras within him.
their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
