Holy Scripture
Genesis 49:17
A church father on this verse
“The fact that the prophet says "biting the heel of the horse" signifies that Christ will test those who announce the way of the truth and salvation. So he also tested the apostles, cheated Judas and took hold of him; he took hold of him as of a horse and threw the rider who was on it to death.”

Original
17And let Dan be a serpent in the way, Besetting the path, Biting the heel of the horse (And the rider shall fall backward),
