Isaiah 59:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ They hatch evil like eggs from poisonous snakes.
    If you eat one of those eggs, you will die.
    And if you break one open, a poisonous snake comes out.
People tell lies as they would spin a spider’s web.
⁶     The webs they make cannot be used for clothes.
    You can’t cover yourself with those webs.
The things they do are evil.
    They use their hands to hurt others.
⁷ They eagerly run to do evil.
    They are always ready to kill innocent people.
They think evil thoughts.
    Everywhere they go they cause ruin and destruction.
