And a serpent bit him!
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!

For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

And Chiun, your idols,
The star of your gods,
Which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into captivity abeyond Damascus,”
Says the Lord, bwhose name is the God of hosts.
Says the Lord, bwhose name is the God of hosts.
