3 For ayour hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in aempty words and speak lies;
bThey conceive1 evil and bring forth iniquity.

bThey conceive1 evil and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 aTheir webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
7 aTheir feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed binnocent blood;
cTheir thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and ddestruction are in their paths.
And they make haste to shed binnocent blood;
cTheir thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and ddestruction are in their paths.
8 The way of apeace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
bThey have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
And there is no justice in their ways;
bThey have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
