Isaiah 59:4-7

4When people accuse somebody in court, the truth is not important. They tell lies and they deceive the judge, so that they will win. They decide how they can cause trouble, and then they do wicked things.

5Their thoughts are like the eggs of a snake. If anyone eats those eggs, they will die! When an egg breaks open, a dangerous snake is born! They like to catch people, like a spider that makes a web.

6Their webs are useless to make clothes. They cannot cover themselves with them. The things that they do are useless like that. They do only wicked things. They use their strength only to hurt people.

7They rush to do evil things. They hurry to kill people who have not done anything wrong. They think only about sin. They only want to be cruel and to hurt people.
