Isaiah 59:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 For your (A)hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken a (B)lie;
Your tongue mutters unrighteousness.
4 (C)No one calls in righteousness, and (D)no one seeks justice in truth.
They (E)trust in [a]confusion and speak worthlessness;
They (F)conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness.
5 They break open vipers’ eggs and (G)weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.

3 For your hands are stained with blood,(A)
your fingers with guilt.(B)
Your lips have spoken falsely,(C)
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4 No one calls for justice;(D)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(E) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(F)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(G)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(H)
and spin a spider’s web.(I)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
