2:8 Their land is full of worthless idols;
they worship 1 the product of their own hands,
what their own fingers have fashioned.
59:3 For your hands are stained with blood
and your fingers with sin;
your lips speak lies,
your tongue utters malicious words.
17:8 They will no longer trust in 2 the altars their hands made,
or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made. 3
58:9 Then you will call out, and the Lord will respond;
you will cry out, and he will reply, ‘Here I am.’
You must 4 remove the burdensome yoke from among you
and stop pointing fingers and speaking sinfully.
