Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

Cut off - so Gesenius. Or, to accord with the metaphor of the spider's house (Hebrew for "web"). 'The confidence on which he builds х 'ªsher (H834) kiclow (H3689)] shall be laid in ruins' х yaaqowT (H6990)] (Umbreit). "They weave the spider's web: their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works" (Isaiah 59:5-6).
