Isaiah 59:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ No one calls for justice,
    nor does anyone plead for truth.
They trust in vanity and speak lies;
    they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
⁵ They hatch adders’ eggs
    and weave the spider’s web;
he who eats of their eggs dies,
    and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
⁶ Their webs shall not become garments,
    nor shall they cover themselves with their works;
their works are works of iniquity,
    and an act of violence is in their hands.
