Where we may note by the Way that our translators render those very original words a piercing serpent in this text of Isaiah, which they render a crooked serpent in Job; and, I conceive, it is better translated, piercing (for so bolts or bars Are rather) then crooked, Another word being also used in Isaiah, which we translate crooked. For Serpents Are both strait and long like a Bar, they Are also crooked & can wind themselves into a circle when they please,
