³ ·With your hands you have killed others [^LFor your hands are defiled with blood],
    and ·with your fingers you have done wrong [^Lyour fingers with sin/iniquity].
With your lips you have lied,
    and with your tongue you ·say [utter; mutter] evil things.
⁴ ·People take each other to court unfairly [^LNo one sues with cause; or No one calls for justice],
    and no one tells the truth in ·arguing [setting forth; pleading] his case.
They ·accuse each other falsely [or rely on empty arguments] and tell lies.
    They ·cause [^Lconceive] trouble and ·create more [^Lgive birth to] evil.
⁵ They hatch ·evil like eggs [^Leggs] from ·poisonous snakes [vipers].
    If you eat one of those eggs, you will die,
    and if you break one open, a poisonous snake comes out.
People ·tell lies as they would spin [^Lspin] a spider’s web.
