⁴ They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
    like the deaf adder that stops its ear,^(A)

⁵ so that it does not hear the voice of charmers
    or of the cunning enchanter.^(A)

¹⁷ See, I am letting snakes loose among you,
    adders that cannot be charmed,
    and they shall bite you,
            says the Lord.^(A)
