Isaiah 59:3 Context
1Beholde, the Lords hand is not shortened, that it cannot saue: neither his eare heauie, that it cannot heare. 2But your iniquities haue separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes haue hid his face from you, that he will not heare. 3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquitie, your lippes haue spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered peruersnesse. 4None calleth for iustice, nor any pleadeth for trueth: they trust in vanity and speake lies; they conceiue mischiefe, and bring forth iniquitie. 5They hatch cockatrice egges, and weaue the spiders web: he that eateth of their egges dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
