Verse 9
- Bread and stone. A similarity between bread and a stone is that they are both round, the former is a basic necessity of life that provides sustenance whereas the latter does not.
[edit]
Verse 10
- Fish and serpent. The serpent referred to here is likely a water snake, making the similarity between a fish and a "serpent" that they both are water-dwelling. Like the pairing of bread and stone, the former provides sustenance whereas the latter does not. (Cf. Luke 11:11.)
