Isaiah 59:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ They hatch adders’ eggs,
    they weave the spider’s web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
    and from one which is crushed a viper is hatched.
⁶ Their webs will not serve as clothing;
    men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
    and deeds of violence are in their hands.
⁷ Their feet run to evil,
    and they make haste to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
    desolation and destruction are in their highways.
