But your (A)iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His [a]face from you so that He does (B)not hear.
For your (C)hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken a (D)lie;
Your tongue mutters unrighteousness.

They (G)trust in [b]confusion and speak worthlessness;
They (H)conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness.
