¹⁷ For behold, I am sending among you ^(A)serpents,
    adders ^(B)that cannot be charmed,
    ^(C)and they shall bite you,”
declares the Lord.

^17 (A)they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
    like the crawling things of the earth;
^(B)they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
    ^(C)they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they shall be in fear of you.
