The psalms and prophets use it as a picture of cruel, hurtful words and of wicked deeds, such as the snake's poison under the lips or a poisoned drink given to a neighbour. Interpretation: Tradition reads the snake's venom in the psalms as a picture of the harm done by slander and evil speech. The tongue can hurt like a snake's bite. In the primary lessons: In science, venomous animals use venom to catch prey or defend themselves; Australia has many venomous snakes and spiders. Doctors make antivenom to treat bites. In safety, never touch or pick up a snake or spider you do not know; if bitten, keep still and get help. In stories, venom shows a cruel, hateful voice. Phrases: snake venom, deadly venom, full of venom, antivenom. ### examples - Their wine is the venom of serpents, and the cruel poison of asps.
