Gall is a bitter herb
Proverbs 5:3–4 See also Psalm 69:19–21; Lamentations 3:13–15, Lamentations 3:19–20
Though the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil, in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword.
Gall was offered to Jesus Christ at the crucifixion
Gall is a secretion of the liver
I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target; His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
