Isaías 59:6

6 Sus telas no servirán de vestidos, ni se cubrirán con sus obras; sus obras son obras de iniquidad, y actos de violencia hay en sus manos.

Isaías 59:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 59:6

Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover
themselves with their works
As spiders' webs are not fit to make garments of, are too thin to cover naked bodies, or shelter from bad weather, or injuries from different causes; so neither the false doctrines of men will be of any use to themselves, or to others that receive them; particularly the doctrine of justification by works: these are not proper garments to cover the nakedness of a sinner from the sight of God, or screen him from avenging justice; but his hope which is placed on them will be cut off, and his trust in them will be a spider's web, of no avail to him, ( Job 8:14 ) : their works are works of iniquity:
both of preacher and hearer; even their best works are sinful; not only as being imperfect, and having a mixture of sin in them, and so filthy rags, and insufficient to justify them before God; but because done from wrong principles, and with wrong views, and tending to set aside the justifying righteousness of Christ, and God's way of justifying sinners by it, which is abominable to him: and the act of violence is in their hands;
they persecuting such that preach and profess the contrary doctrine.

Isaías 59:6 In-Context

4 No hay quien clame con justicia ni quien abogue con honestidad. Confían en la confusión, y hablan falsedades; conciben malicia, y dan a luz iniquidad.

5 Incuban huevos de áspides y tejen telas de araña; el que come de sus huevos muere, y del que es aplastado sale una víbora.

6 Sus telas no servirán de vestidos, ni se cubrirán con sus obras; sus obras son obras de iniquidad, y actos de violencia hay en sus manos.

7 Sus pies corren al mal, y se apresuran a derramar sangre inocente; sus pensamientos son pensamientos de iniquidad, desolación y destrucción hay en sus caminos.

8 Camino de paz no conocen, y no hay justicia en sus senderos; han torcido a su favor las sendas, cualquiera que ande en ellas no conoce la paz.
