They hatch vipers’ eggs and (A)weave the spider’s web;
The one who eats of their eggs dies,
And from what is crushed, a snake breaks out.
Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they (B)cover themselves with their works;
Their (C)works are works of wrongdoing,
And an (D)act of violence is in their [a]hands.

  1. Isaiah 59:6 Lit palms

They hatch the eggs of vipers(A)
    and spin a spider’s web.(B)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
    and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
    they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(C)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
    and acts of violence(D) are in their hands.
