Genesis 49:17

New King James Version

Dan shall be a serpent by the way, A viper by the path, That bites the horse’s heels So that its rider shall fall backward.

See the chapter Copy

of the Danites who could keep battle formation, twenty-eight thousand six hundred;

“Dan shall judge his people As one of the tribes of Israel.

I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!

At the last it bites like a serpent, And stings like a viper.

A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different.
