59:5 They hatch the eggs of a poisonous snake
and spin a spider’s web.
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
a poisonous snake is hatched. 1
59:6 Their webs cannot be used for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are sinful;
they commit violent crimes. 2
1 tn Heb “that which is pressed in hatches [as] a snake.”
2 tn Heb “their deeds are deeds of sin, and the work of violence [is] in their hands.”
