Isaiah 30:6

6An aoracle on bthe beasts of cthe Negeb.

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
from where come the lioness and the lion,
the adder and the dflying fiery serpent,
they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys,
and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people that cannot profit them.

Matthew 3:7

7But when he saw many of ethe Pharisees and fSadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, g“You brood of hvipers! Who warned you to flee from ithe wrath to come?

Acts 28:3-6

3When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4When jthe native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, k“No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, lJustice
Or justice
has not allowed him to live.”
5He, however, nshook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, othey changed their minds and psaid that he was a god.
