Isaiah 59:4-6
GOD’S WORD Translation
4 No one calls for justice,
and no one pleads his case truthfully.
People trust pointless arguments and speak lies.
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
5 They hatch viper eggs
and weave spiderwebs.
Those who eat their eggs will die.
When an egg is crushed, a poisonous snake is hatched.
6 Their webs can’t be used for clothes,
nor can they cover themselves with their works.
Their works are evil.
Their hands have committed acts of violence.
Isaiah 59:4-6
New International Version
4 No one calls for justice;(A)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(B) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(C)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(D)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(E)
and spin a spider’s web.(F)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(G)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence(H) are in their hands.
