# They hatch eggs of a poisonous snake

Eggs of a poisonous snake hatch into more dangerous snakes. "Poisonous snakes" represents evil the people do that harms more and more. AT: "They make evil that spreads out to make more evil" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# weave a spider's web

# Whoever eats of their eggs dies, and if an egg is crushed, it hatches into a poisonous snake

Eating a poisonous egg will kill the one that eats it and represents self-destruction. Breaking the egg allows the young poisonous snake to hatch and represents spreading destruction.

# Their webs cannot be used for garments, nor can they cover themselves with their works

This means their sinful deeds cannot be covered and hidden, just as a web cannot serve as clothing and cover someone. AT: "Their evil deeds will be exposed as useless" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Their webs cannot be used for garments

This can be stated in active form. AT: "They cannot clothe themselves with their webs" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# deeds of violence are in their hands
