Isaiah 59:2-4

Common English Bible

²     but your misdeeds have separated you from your God.
Your sins have hidden his face from you
    so that you aren’t heard.
³ Your hands are stained with blood,
    and your fingers with guilt.
Your lips speak lies;
    your tongues mutter malice.
⁴ No one sues honestly;
    no one pleads truthfully.
By trusting in emptiness and speaking deceit,
    they conceive harm and give birth to malice.
