Isaiah 59:5
_ _ cockatrice — probably the basilisk serpent, cerastes. Instead of crushing evil in the egg, they foster it.
_ _ spider’s web — This refers not to the spider’s web being made to entrap, but to its thinness, as contrasted with substantial “garments,” as Isaiah 59:6 shows. Their works are vain and transitory (Job 8:14; Proverbs 11:18).
_ _ eateth ... their eggs — he who partakes in their plans, or has anything to do with them, finds them pestiferous.
_ _ that which is crushed — The egg, when it is broken, breaketh out as a viper; their plans, however specious in their undeveloped form like the egg, when developed, are found pernicious. Though the viper is viviparous (from which “vi-per” is derived), yet during gestation, the young are included in eggs, which break at the birth [Bochart]; however, metaphors often combine things without representing everything to the life. |
Isaiah 59:5
Cockatrice eggs — One kind put for any venomous creature, a proverbial speech signifying by these eggs mischievous designs, and by hatching them, their putting them in practice. Web — Another proverbial speech whereby is taught, both how by their plots they weave nets, lay snares industriously with great pains and artifice. And also how their designs will come to nothing, as the spider's web is soon swept away. |
Isaiah 59:5
They hatch (d) eggs of an adder, and weave the spider's (e) web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
(d) Whatever comes from them is poison, and brings death.
(e) They are profitable to no purpose. |

Proverbs 23:32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
