Isaiah 59:5 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

5They hatch the eggs of vipers

and spin a spider’s web.

Whoever eats their eggs will die,

and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.

5They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;

The one who eats of their eggs dies,

And from what is crushed, a snake breaks out.

5They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;

He who eats of their eggs dies,

And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.

5They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s webs;

He who eats of their eggs dies,

And from an egg which is crushed a viper breaks out.

5They hatch the eggs of vipers

and weave a spider’s web.

Whoever eats their eggs will die;

crack one open, and a viper is hatched.

5The plans they make are like the eggs of poisonous snakes.

Anyone who eats those eggs will die.

When one of them is broken, a snake comes out.
