Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Note a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue
If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.
