5. They hatch adders’ eggs,and weave spiderwebs.Whoever eats their eggs will die.Moreover, the crushed egg hatches a viper.
6. Their webs can’t serve as clothing;they can’t cover themselves with their deeds.Their deeds are deeds of malice,and the work of violence is in their hands.
7. Their feet run to evil;they rush to shed innocent blood.Their thoughts are thoughts of malice;desolation and destruction litter their highways.
8. They don’t know the way of peace;there’s no justice in their paths.They make their roads crooked;no one who walks in them knows peace.
9. Because of all this, justice is far from us,and righteousness beyond our reach.We expect light, and there is darkness;we await a gleam of light, but walk about in gloom.
