Abowiem oto puszczę na was węże bazyliszki, którym nie zawadzi nic zaklinanie i będą was kąsać, mówi Pan.
Bo oto Ja poślę na was węże najjadowitsze, przeciwko którym niemasz zaklinania; i pokąsają was, mówi Pan.
Bo oto puszczam między was jadowite węże. Nie ma na nie zaklęcia! I będą was one kąsać - oświadcza PAN.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you,.... The Chaldeans, comparable to these noxious and hurtful creatures, because of the mischief they should do unto them. The Targum is,
"for, lo, I will raise up against you people that kill as the destroying serpents.''
These were raised up by the Lord, and sent by him, just as he sent fiery serpents among the Israelites in the wilderness, when they sinned against him; there literally, here metaphorically.
Which will not be charmed: Jarchi says, at the end of seventy years a serpent becomes a cockatrice, and stops its ear, that it will not hearken to the voice of the charmer, according to Psalms 58:4, the meaning is, that these Chaldeans would not be diverted from their purposes in destroying of the Jews by any arts or methods whatever; as not by force of arms, so not by good words and entreaties, or any way that could be devised.
And they shall bite you, saith the Lord; that is, kill them, as the Targum interprets it; for the bite of a serpent is deadly.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will send - Or, am sending. No prophet changes his metaphors so suddenly as Jeremiah. The invading army is now compared to snakes, whom no charming can soothe, and whose bite is fatal. Compare Numbers 21:5-6.
Cockatrices - âVipers.â See Isaiah 11:8 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 8:17. I will send serpents — These were symbols of the enemies that were coming against them; a foe that would rather slay them and destroy the land than get booty and ransom.
