What does God say about spiders?

What God says about spiders is not directly addressed as specific commandments about spiders in major religious texts, but spiders are mentioned in some contexts with symbolic meanings. In the Bible, spiders are mentioned in a few places, for example in Proverbs 30:28, the spider is listed among small creatures that are wise, saying the spider taketh hold with her hands and is in kings' palaces, highlighting diligence and persistence despite small size. In Job 8:14, spider's web is used as metaphor for fragility of trust in false hope, saying whose hope shall be cut off and whose trust shall be a spider's web, indicating flimsy and unreliable. In Isaiah 59:5, spider webs are used to describe wicked works. In general, biblical view of spiders is as part of God's creation, not inherently evil, though webs can symbolize fragility. In other religions, spiders have different meanings, in some Native American traditions spider is creator and wise, in Islam spiders are respected because story of spider web protecting Prophet Muhammad in cave during Hijra. So God does not say spiders are evil or to be hated, they are part of creation with symbolic lessons about diligence and fragility. Many religious teachings emphasize respect for all creatures as part of creation, though some people have fear of spiders. If you have spider infestation at home, humane removal and prevention through cleaning and sealing cracks is recommended rather than attributing moral judgment to spiders.
