Isaiah 59:3-6

Good News Translation

³ You are guilty of lying, violence, and murder.

⁴ You go to court, but you do not have justice on your side. You depend on lies to win your case. You carry out your plans to hurt others. ^5-6 The evil plots you make are as deadly as the eggs of a poisonous snake. Crush an egg, out comes a snake! But your plots will do you no good—they are as useless as clothing made of cobwebs!
