Isaiah 59:4-8

4 1No one sues righteously and 2no one pleads 3honestly. They 4trust in confusion and speak lies; They 5conceive trouble and give birth to disaster.5They hatch vipers’ eggs and 6weave the spider’s web; The one who eats of their eggs dies, And from what is crushed, a snake breaks out.6Their webs will not become clothing, Nor will they 7cover themselves with their works; Their 8works are works of wrongdoing, And an 9act of violence is in their 10hands.7 11Their feet run to evil, And they hurry to shed innocent blood; 12Their thoughts are thoughts of wrongdoing, Devastation and destruction are in their paths.8They do not know the 13way of peace, And there is 14no justice in their tracks; They have made their paths crooked, 15Whoever walks on 16them does not know peace.
