4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in aempty words and speak lies;
bThey conceive1 evil and bring forth iniquity.
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in aempty words and speak lies;
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.
Sin Confessed
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
aWe look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
aWe look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
