1. Look, the Lord’S power is enough to save you. He can hear you when you ask him for help.
2. It is your sins that separate you from your God. He turns away from you when he sees them.
3. That’s because your hands are covered with blood from the people you murdered. You tell lies and say evil things.
4. You can’t be trusted, even in court. You lie about each other and depend on false arguments to win your cases. You create pain and produce wickedness.
5. You hatch evil, like eggs from a poisonous snake. Anyone who eats the eggs will die. And if you break one of them open, a poisonous snake will come out. Your lies are like spider webs.
6. They cannot be used for clothes, and you cannot cover yourself with them. Your hands are always busy sinning and hurting others.
