Isaiah 59:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ That’s because your hands are covered with blood from the people you murdered. You tell lies and say evil things. ⁴ You can’t be trusted, even in court. You lie about each other and depend on false arguments to win your cases. You create pain and produce wickedness. ⁵ You hatch evil, like eggs from a poisonous snake. Anyone who eats the eggs will die. And if you break one of them open, a poisonous snake will come out.

Your lies are like spider webs.
