‘They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague
And bitter destruction;
And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them,
With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

“Their wine is the venom of serpents,
And the deadly poison of cobras.

Yet his food in his stomach is changed
To the venom of cobras within him.

They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,

“Woe to you who make your neighbors drink,
Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk
So as to look on their nakedness!
