Serpent

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’””

“I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.”

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’””

“He who digs a pit may fall into it, and he who breaches a wall may be bitten by a snake.”

“Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”

“So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.”

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.””

“He will be a snake by the road, a viper in the path that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.”
