Ecclesiastes 10:11

Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 10:11 Go To Ecclesiastes 10

John Cassian

AD 435
“If a snake bites without hissing,” it says, “there is no abundance for the charmer,” indicating that the bite of a silent snake is dangerous. This means that if a diabolical suggestion or thought has not been disclosed by confessing it to the charmer (namely, to a spiritual man, who by the songs of Scripture can heal a wound immediately and draw the snake’s harmful venom out of a person’s heart), he will not be able to help the one who is in danger and about to perish.
