viper The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and old lion, the {viper} and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treas ures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [that] shall not profit [them]. viper They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a {viper}. viper And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them] on the fire, there came a {viper} out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. ~~~~~~
