Isaiah 59:4-6
New King James Version
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in (A)empty words and speak lies;
(B)They conceive [a]evil and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 (C)Their webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.

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)

and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
