Job20:16
16. He [illegible: 1+ letters] shall suck the poyson of asps , the vipers tongue shall slay him.
That which he hath greedily and industriously sucked in as pleasant and wholsom nourishment, shall in the issue be as ungrateful and destructive to him as the poyson or head (for the Hebrew word signifies both, and the poyson lies in the head) of asps would be to one that sucketh it.
Together with its teeth in which the poyson lurks which it conveys by biting a man.
