1. The Lord is not too weak to saveor his ear too deaf to hear.
2. But your wrongs have separated you from your God,and your sins have made him hide his faceso that he doesn’t hear you.
3. Your hands are stained with blood,and your fingers are stained with sin.You speak lies,and you mutter wicked things.
4. No one calls for justice,and no one pleads his case truthfully.People trust pointless arguments and speak lies.They conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
5. They hatch viper eggsand weave spiderwebs.Those who eat their eggs will die.When an egg is crushed, a poisonous snake is hatched.
6. Their webs can’t be used for clothes,nor can they cover themselves with their works.Their works are evil.Their hands have committed acts of violence.
7. Their feet run to do evil.They hurry to shed innocent blood.Their plans are evil.Ruin and destruction are on their highways.
