Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 59:5
Theological / DevotionalCockatrice’ eggs. That is, “adders’ eggs.” Leaders and people were constantly thinking evil thoughts that would hatch out into wicked deeds.
The spider’s web. They wove nets of deceit to entice their fellows. The web of a spider does not appear to be an instrument of death, yet it is admirably adapted to entrap its prey.
That which is crushed. The apparent frustration of evil plans failed to avert the evil itself. The enemies of justice were still able to accomplish their objectives.
