Eclesiastés 10

Se il serpente morde prima d’essere incantato, l’incantatore diventa inutile.

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.
