Genesis 3:1
King James Version
3 Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made.
And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:14-15
King James Version
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle,
and above every beast of the field;
upon thy belly shalt thou go,
and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
and between thy seed and her seed;
it shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Exodus 7:8-12
King James Version
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying,
Shew a miracle for you:
then thou shalt say unto Aaron,
Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh,
and it shall become a serpent.
10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh,
and they did so as the Lord had commanded:
and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh,
and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called
the wise men and the sorcerers:
now the magicians of Egypt,
they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod,
and they became serpents:
but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Numbers 21:5-6
King James Version
5 And the people spake against God,
and against Moses,
Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt
to die in the wilderness?
for there is no bread, neither is there any water;
and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people,
and they bit the people;
and much people of Israel died.
Numbers 21:7-9
King James Version
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said,
We have sinned, for we have spoken
against the Lord, and against thee;
pray unto the Lord,
that he take away the serpents from us.
And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses,
Make thee a fiery serpent,
and set it upon a pole:
and it shall come to pass,
that every one that is bitten,
when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass,
and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass,
that if a serpent had bitten any man,
when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Deuteronomy 32:33
King James Version
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons,
and the cruel venom of asps.
Job 20:14-16
King James Version
14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned,
it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He hath swallowed down riches,
and he shall vomit them up again:
God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps:
the viper's tongue shall slay him.
Psalm 140:1-3
King James Version
140 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man:
preserve me from the violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart;
continually are they gathered together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;
adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
Proverbs 23:31-32
King James Version
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth his colour in the cup,
when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.
Isaiah 11:8-10
King James Version
8 And the sucking child shall play
on the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his hand
on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy mountain:
for the earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,
which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
to it shall the Gentiles seek:
and his rest shall be glorious.
Isaiah 14:29-32
King James Version
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina,
because the rod of him that smote thee is broken:
for out of the serpent's root
shall come forth a cockatrice,
and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed,
and the needy shall lie down in safety:
and I will kill thy root with famine,
and he shall slay thy remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city;
thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved:
for there shall come from the north a smoke,
and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32 What shall one then answer
the messengers of the nation?
That the Lord hath founded Zion,
and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Isaiah 27:1

with his sore and great and strong sword
shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent,
even leviathan that crooked serpent;
and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Isaiah 30:6-7
King James Version
6 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 treasures upon the bunches of camels,
to a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain,
and to no purpose:
therefore have I cried concerning this,
Their strength is to sit still.
Isaiah 59:1-5
King James Version
59 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened,
that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated
between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you,
that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth:
they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 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.
Jeremiah 8:14-17
King James Version
14 Why do we sit still?
assemble yourselves,
and let us enter into the defenced cities,
and let us be silent there:
for the Lord our God hath put us to silence,
and given us water of gall to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan:
the whole land trembled at the sound
of the neighing of his strong ones;
for they are come, and have devoured the land,
and all that is in it;
the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold,
I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you,
which will not be charmed,
and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
Micah 7:16-17
King James Version
16 The nations shall see
and be confounded at all their might:
they shall lay their hand upon their mouth,
their ears shall be deaf.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent,
they shall move out of their holes
like worms of the earth:
they shall be afraid of the Lord our God,
and shall fear because of thee.
Matthew 3:7-8
King James Version
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees
and Sadducees come to his baptism,
he said unto them,
O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits
meet for repentance:
Matthew 10:16
King James Version
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep
in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as serpents,
and harmless as doves.
Matthew 12:34-37
King James Version
34 O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things:
and an evil man out of the evil treasure
bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you,
That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof
in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 23:29-33
King James Version
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets,
and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers,
we would not have been partakers with them
in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves,
that ye are the children of them
which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mark 16:17-18
King James Version
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover.
Luke 10:19-20
King James Version
19 Behold, I give unto you power
to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,
that the spirits are subject unto you;
but rather rejoice, because your names
are written in heaven.
John 3:14-15
King James Version
14 And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
Acts 28:3-6
King James Version
3 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.
4 And when the barbarians saw
the venomous beast hang on his hand,
they said among themselves,
No doubt this man is a murderer,
whom, though he hath escaped the sea,
yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire,
and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen,
or fallen down dead suddenly:
but after they had looked a great while,
and saw no harm come to him,
they changed their minds,
and said that he was a god.
Romans 3:10-14
King James Version
10 As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way,
they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have used deceit;
the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Revelation 12:9
King James Version
9 And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.
