But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will (A)not hear.
For (B)your hands are defiled with [a]blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in (C)empty words and speak lies;
(D)They conceive [b]evil and bring forth iniquity.
