Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The word
is
pethen
: it has been identified with the
naja haje
, a snake that has the
power
of expelling its deadly
poison
to some distance, which has caused the Dutch colonists at the Cape to call them the spitting snake. Its “cruel venom” is used symbolically to describe the
wine
of the wicked (
Deut. 32:33
33
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. (Deuteronomy 32:33)
; compare.
Rom. 3:13
13
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: (Romans 3:13)
), and the inward misery of those who are secretly wicked (
Job 20:14,16
14
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. (Job 20:14)
16
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. (Job 20:16)
