Isaiah 59:3-5

Modern English Version

³ For your hands are defiled with blood
    and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
    your tongue has muttered perverseness.
⁴ No one calls for justice,
    nor does anyone plead for truth.
They trust in vanity and speak lies;
    they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
⁵ They hatch adders’ eggs
    and weave the spider’s web;
he who eats of their eggs dies,
    and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
