And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.

Be you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, else they come not near unto you.

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

For, behold, the LORD commands, and he will strike the great house into pieces, and the little house into bits.
