Isaiah 59:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ For your hands are stained with blood
    and your fingers with guilt.
Your lips utter lies
    and your tongue mutters wicked things.
⁴ No one brings a suit justly
    or pleads honestly in court.
They all rely on empty words and utter lies;
    they conceive mischief and bring forth evil.
⁵ They hatch adders’ eggs
    and weave the spider’s web;
whoever eats their eggs will die;
    crush one and a viper emerges.
