Eclesiastés 10

If the serpent do bite because no one uttered a charm, then hath the man that can use his tongue in charming no preference.––

Muerde la serpiente cuando no está encantada, y el lenguaraz no es mejor.

Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.

If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
