In the Hebrew text, the word for "cobwebs" (קורי) suggests something that is intricately woven yet ultimately weak and insubstantial. Historically, cobwebs have been seen as symbols of entrapment and deceit, reflecting the deceptive practices of those who turn away from righteousness. The phrase "cannot be made into clothing" emphasizes the uselessness of their efforts; just as cobwebs cannot provide warmth or protection, the sinful deeds of the wicked cannot cover their spiritual nakedness or shame. This imagery calls to mind the broader biblical theme of righteousness as a garment, as seen in passages like Isaiah 61:10, where salvation is likened to a robe. and they cannot cover themselves with their works Their deeds are worthless deeds and they commit violence with their hands Parallel Commentaries ...
