4 People take each other to court unfairly,and no one tells the truth in arguing his case.They accuse each other falsely and tell lies.They cause trouble and create more evil.
5 They hatch evil like eggs from poisonous snakes.If you eat one of those eggs, you will die,and if you break one open, a poisonous snake comes out.People tell lies as they would spin a spider’s web.
6 The webs they make cannot be used for clothes;you can’t cover yourself with those webs.The things they do are evil,and they use their hands to hurt others.
7 They eagerly run to do evil,and they are always ready to kill innocent people.They think evil thoughts.Everywhere they go they cause ruin and destruction.
8 They don’t know how to live in peace,and there is no fairness in their lives.They are dishonest.Anyone who lives as they live will never have peace.
9 Fairness has gone far away;goodness is nowhere to be found.We wait for the light, but there is only darkness now.We hope for a bright light, but all we have is darkness.
10 We are like the blind feeling our way along a wall.We feel our way as if we had no eyes.In the brightness of day we trip as if it were night.We are like dead men among the strong.
