Isaiah 59:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
3 That’s because your hands are covered with blood from the people you murdered. You tell lies and say evil things. 4 You can’t be trusted, even in court. You lie about each other and depend on false arguments to win your cases. You create pain and produce wickedness. 5 You hatch evil, like eggs from a poisonous snake. Anyone who eats the eggs will die. And if you break one of them open, a poisonous snake will come out.
Your lies are like spider webs.

Isaiah 59:3-5
New International Version
3 For your hands are stained with blood,(A)
your fingers with guilt.(B)
Your lips have spoken falsely,(C)
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4 No one calls for justice;(D)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(E) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(F)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(G)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(H)
and spin a spider’s web.(I)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
