And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. Genesis 3:14
Matthew 10:16 KJV [16] Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as SERPENTS, and harmless as doves. Genesis 49:16-18 KJV [16] Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel. [17] Dan shall be a SERPENT by the way, An adder in the path, That biteth the horse heels, So that his rider shall fall backward. [18] I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. The Serpent is sometimes used as a good exemple, not always a bad or evil one.
