'Serpents' in the Bible

and who brought you through the great, fearful desert of venomous serpents and scorpions, an arid place with no water. He made water flow from a flint rock and

his food is turned sour in his stomach; it becomes the venom of serpents within him.

He sucks the poison of serpents; the fangs of a viper kill him.

They will lick the dust like a snake, like serpents crawling on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds to the Lord our God; they will be terrified of you.

"I am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
