Isaiah 59:4-8
New International Version
Isaiah 59:4-8
New International Version
4 No one calls for justice;(A)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(B) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(C)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(D)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(E)
and spin a spider’s web.(F)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(G)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence(H) are in their hands.
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.(I)
They pursue evil schemes;(J)
acts of violence mark their ways.(K)
8 The way of peace they do not know;(L)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(M)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(N)
Isaiah 59:4-8
King James Version
Isaiah 59:4-8
King James Version
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Isaiah 59:4-8
New King James Version
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in (A)empty words and speak lies;
(B)They conceive [a]evil and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 (C)Their webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
7 (D)Their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed (E)innocent blood;
(F)Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and (G)destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of (H)peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
(I)They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
