Isaiah 59:3-5
The Voice
3 For your hands are covered with blood;
your fingers are sticky with all manner of crimes;
Your lips drip vicious lies;
your tongue mutters all manner of wickedness.
4 Everyone misuses the judicial system,
clogging it with twisted accusations and misleading testimony.
With empty charges and baseless lies
they conceive trouble and give birth to injustice.
5 They concoct and create the most poisonous things;
it’s as if they hatch vipers’ eggs or weave spiders’ webs.
Eat their eggs and die; crush one and a viper is hatched—
yet more poison, hurt, and distrust.
Isaiah 59:3-5
New International Version
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.
