Isaiah 59:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Your hands are stained with blood,
and your fingers are stained with sin.
You speak lies,
and you mutter wicked things.
⁴ No one calls for justice,
and no one pleads his case truthfully.
People trust pointless arguments and speak lies.
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
⁵ They hatch viper eggs
and weave spiderwebs.
Those who eat their eggs will die.
When an egg is crushed, a poisonous snake is hatched.
