Isaiah 59:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The plans they make are like the eggs of poisonous snakes.
    Anyone who eats those eggs will die.
    When one of them is broken, a snake comes out.
⁶ Those people weave their evil plans together like a spider’s web.
    But the webs they make can’t be used as clothes.
    They can’t cover themselves with what they make.
Their acts are evil.
    They do things to harm others.
⁷ They are always in a hurry to sin.
    They run quickly to murder those who aren’t guilty.
They love to think up evil plans.
    They leave a trail of harmful actions.
