Isaiah 59:3-4

59:3 For your hands are stained with blood

and your fingers with sin;

your lips speak lies,

your tongue utters malicious words.

59:4 No one is concerned about justice; ¹ 

no one sets forth his case truthfully.

They depend on false words ²  and tell lies;

they conceive of oppression ³ 

and give birth to sin.

[59:4]  ¹ tn Heb “no one pleads with justice.”

[59:4]  ² tn Heb “nothing”; NAB “emptiness.”

[59:4]  ³ tn Or “trouble” (NIV), or “harm.”
