3 For YOUR own palms have become polluted with blood,+ and YOUR fingers with error. YOUR own lips have spoken falsehood.+ YOUR own tongue kept muttering sheer unrighteousness.+

3 and they bend their tongue as their bow in falsehood;+ but not for faithfulness have they proved mighty in the land.*

“For from badness to badness they went forth, and they ignored even me,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

2 There are the pronouncing of curses+ and practicing of deception+ and murdering+ and stealing+ and committing of adultery+ that have broken forth, and acts of bloodshed have touched other acts of bloodshed.+
