Isaiah 59:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ For your hands are defiled with blood
    and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
    your tongue mutters wickedness.
⁴ No one enters suit justly,
    no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
    they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
⁵ They hatch adders’ eggs,
    they weave the spider’s web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
    and from one which is crushed a viper is hatched.
