Thematic Bible: A serpent


Thematic Bible



An oracle about the animals of the Negev:

Through a land of trouble and distress,
of lioness and lion,
of viper and flying serpent,
they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys
and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people who will not help them.

and weave spider’s webs.
Whoever eats their eggs will die;
crack one open, and a viper is hatched.
