Isaiah 59:4

Rampant Transgression

³ For your hands are stained with blood and your fingers with sin; your lips speak lies, your tongue utters malicious words. ⁴ No one is concerned about justice; no one sets forth his case truthfully. They depend on false words and tell lies; they conceive of oppression and give birth to sin. ⁵ They hatch the eggs of a poisonous snake and spin a spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, a poisonous snake is hatched.
