The imagery of poison serves to illustrate the insidious and harmful effects that these elements can have on individuals and communities. Old Testament References 1. <a href="/deuteronomy/32-33.htm">Deuteronomy 32:33</a> · In the Song of Moses, the venom of serpents is used to describe the corrupt and rebellious nature of Israel's enemies: "Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras." This passage highlights the lethal and corrupting influence of those who oppose God's people. 2. <a href="/job/6-4.htm">Job 6:4</a> · Job, in his suffering, uses the imagery of poison to describe the severity of his afflictions: "For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me." Here, poison symbolizes the intense and overwhelming nature of his trials. 3. <a href="/psalms/58-4.htm">Psalm 58:4</a> · The wicked are compared to venomous serpents: "Their venom is like the poison of a serpent, like a cobra that shuts its ears." This metaphor emphasizes the danger and deceitfulness of those who act against righteousness. New Testament References 1. <a href="/romans/3-13.htm">Romans 3:13</a> · The Apostle Paul, quoting from the Psalms, describes the sinful nature of humanity: "Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips." This passage underscores the destructive power of sinful speech and deceit. 2. <a href="/james/3-8.htm">James 3:8</a> · James warns about the untamable nature of the tongue: "But no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." The tongue's potential to cause harm and spread falsehood is likened to poison, highlighting the need for self-control and godly speech. Symbolism and Themes · Sin and Corruption: Poison is frequently used as a metaphor for sin and moral corruption. Just as poison can destroy the body, sin can corrupt the soul and lead to spiritual death. · False Teachings: The imagery of poison is also applied to false teachings and heresies that can infiltrate the church and lead believers astray. The Apostle Paul and other New Testament writers often warned against such dangers. · Judgment and Consequences: The use of poison in biblical texts often carries a connotation of divine judgment. Those who engage in wickedness and deceit are warned of the inevitable consequences of their actions. Practical Implications For believers, the biblical references to poison serve as a caution against the dangers of sin, false teachings, and harmful speech. Christians are called to pursue righteousness, guard their hearts and minds, and speak truthfully and lovingly. The imagery of poison reminds the faithful of the importance of spiritual vigilance and the need to rely on God's wisdom and guidance to avoid the destructive influences of the world.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(1.)

Six species of these are widely diffused in the land, and at least three of them are fairly common in places. Besides, there are scorpions, centipedes and the large spider, which are as much dreaded by the fellahin as are the serpents, not to speak of the minor but very serious discomforts of mosquitoes, sandflies and ticks, some of which were credited with lethal powers. In The Wisdom of Solomon 16:9 the Revised Version (British and American) we read that "the bites of locusts and flies did slay, and there was not found a healing for their life." There are also many poisonous plants, such as belladonna, henbane, thorn apple, and the opium poppy. None of these is mentioned in the Bible; the only names found there are the hemlock (Conium maculatum) of <a href="/hosea/10-4.htm">Hosea 10:4</a>, the poisonous gourd (Citrullus colocynthis) of <a href="/2_kings/4-39.htm">2 Kings 4:39</a>, and the grapes of gall, probably the fruit of Calotropis procera, the apples of Sodom of Josephus (BJ, IV, viii, 4). Some, however, believe that these are poppyheads. Poisonous waters are referred to at Marah (<a href="/exodus/15-23.htm">Exodus 15:23</a>) and Jericho (<a href="/2_kings/2-19.htm">2 Kings 2:19</a>). There are no direct records of any person dying of poison except in 2 Maccabees 10:13, where the suicide of Ptolemy Macron is related. our Lord's promise in the appendix to <a href="/mark/16-18.htm">Mark 16:18</a> shows, however, that poisons were known and might be administered by way of ordeal, as was the unknown "water of jealousy" (<a href="/numbers/5-17.htm">Numbers 5:17</a>). In this connection the story in Eusebius (Historia Ecclesiastica, III, 39) is interesting, that "Justus surnamed Barsabbas, though he drank a deadly poison, suffered no injury, through the grace of the Lord." The passages in which poisonous serpents are mentioned are <a href="/deuteronomy/32-24.htm">Deuteronomy 32:24</a>, where serpents (the Revised Version (British and American) "crawling things") of the dust, probably Cerastes hasselquistii, the little horned vipers, are mentioned, and in <a href="/deuteronomy/32-33.htm">Deuteronomy 32:33</a>: "poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps." The asp may be the cobra Naia haje, not uncommon on the borders of the wilderness to the South. <a href="/psalms/58-4.htm">Psalm 58:4</a> mentions the poison of serpents. <a href="/psalms/140-3.htm">Psalm 140:3</a>, "They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips," indicates, what is still a common belief, that the forked tongue of the snake is the poison-bearer. This is referred to in <a href="/james/3-8.htm">James 3:8</a>. That it was the fang and not the tongue which carried the poison was known to Pliny (xi.62). This verse of <a href="/nasb/psalms/140.htm">Psalm 140</a> is given in Paul's composite quotation in <a href="/romans/3-13.htm">Romans 3:13</a>. There may be a reference to the giving of an intoxicant poison in <a href="/habakkuk/2-15.htm">Habakkuk 2:15</a>, where the Revised Version (British and American) reads "that addest thy venom." The prophets speak in several places of God's wrath as a cup of trembling (the Revised Version (British and American) "staggering"), e.g. <a href="/isaiah/51-17.htm">Isaiah 51:17, 22</a>, probably suggested by the fact that chemah primarily means "fury" and is used in that sense in more than a hundred passages. In <a href="/zechariah/12-2.htm">Zechariah 12:2</a> Jerusalem is to be such a "cup of reeling unto all the peoples round about." The semamith, "lizard" (the King James Version "spider"), mentioned in <a href="/proverbs/30-28.htm">Proverbs 30:28</a> Septuagint kalabotes) was formerly regarded as poisonous and it is still much disliked by the fellahin, as they believe that it makes mocking gestures mimicking them at their prayers. They are really not poisonous. It is doubtful whether the lizard mentioned by Agur is really this stellion; the description better fits the gecko.
