Isaiah 59:3

Rampant Transgression

² But your iniquities have built barriers
between you and your God,
and your sins have made Him hide His face from you
so that He does not listen.
³ For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers, with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
and your tongues mutter injustice.
⁴ No one makes claims justly;
no one pleads honestly.
They trust in empty and worthless words;
they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity.
