Isaiah 59:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵They hatch^[a] adders’ eggs^[b]
    and weave^[c] a spider’s web;
whoever eats their eggs dies,
    and any crushed egg hatches out futility.^[d]
⁶Their cobwebs cannot become clothing,
    they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are deeds of iniquity,
    and acts of violence fill their hands.
⁷Their feet rush to evil,
    and they are quick to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
    ruin, destruction, and violence^[e] are in their paths.
