Isaiah 59:5 · American Standard Version

Isaiah 59:5 in context

  1. 3For your hands are defiled with blood,
    and your fingers with iniquity.
    Your lips have spoken lies.
    Your tongue mutters wickedness.
  2. 4No one sues in righteousness,
    and no one pleads in truth.
    They trust in vanity,
    and speak lies.
    They conceive mischief,
    and give birth to iniquity.
  3. 5They 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.
  4. 6Their webs won’t become garments.
    They won’t cover themselves with their works.
    Their works are works of iniquity,
    and acts of violence are in their hands.
  5. 7Their feet run to evil,
    and they hurry to shed innocent blood.
    Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity.
    Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
