Calamities are not due to lack of saving power in God, but to their own sins16. Salvation is only of God 20. The covenant of the Redeemer Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing This phrase metaphorically illustrates the futility and fragility of the people's actions. In the ancient Near East, clothing was a basic necessity, symbolizing protection and dignity. Cobwebs, being delicate and insubstantial, represent the ineffectiveness of their efforts to cover their spiritual nakedness. This imagery echoes Job 8:14-15, where the hope of the godless is compared to a spider's web. The use of cobwebs suggests that their attempts to justify themselves or find security in their own works are as ineffective as trying to make clothing from spider silk. and they cannot cover themselves with their works Their deeds are sinful deeds and acts of violence are in their hands Persons / Places / Events 1. IsaiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name. He prophesied to the Kingdom of Judah during a time of moral and spiritual decline. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, which Isaiah addressed in his prophecies. The people of Judah were often rebuked for their unfaithfulness and social injustices. 3. The People of Israel The audience of Isaiah's message, who were guilty of sin and in need of repentance and redemption. Teaching Points The Futility of Human EffortsHuman attempts to cover sin through their own works are as ineffective as trying to make clothing from cobwebs. Our righteousness must come from God, not our deeds. The Nature of Sin Sin is not just an abstract concept but is manifested in tangible actions, such as violence and injustice.

They may catch flies, they cannot clothe men.Verse 6. - Their webs shall not become garments. The unsubstantial fabrics which they weave shall not serve them in any way as garments, or be of any real value or utility. Their devices shall not take objective shape in such sort as to afford them "cover" or protection. Their works are works of iniquity; rather, works of nothingness, works that make a mere pretence of being works at all, and are in reality mere shams, impotent and delusive. And the act of violence is in their hands; rather, and it is an act of violence that is in their hands. Violence creates nothing. At the best, it destroys. Parallel Commentaries ...
