“No one sues in righteousness,and no one pleads in truth.They trust in vanityand speak lies.They conceive mischiefand give birth to iniquity.”
Isaiah 59:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2But your iniquities have separated you and your God,and your sins have hidden his face from you,so that he will not hear. 3For your hands are defiled with blood,and your fingers with iniquity.Your lips have spoken lies.Your tongue mutters wickedness. 4No one sues in righteousness,and no one pleads in truth.They trust in vanityand speak lies.They conceive mischiefand give birth to iniquity. 5They hatch adders’ eggsand weave the spider’s web.He who eats of their eggs dies;and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper. 6Their webs won’t become garments.They won’t cover themselves with their works.Their works are works of iniquity,and acts of violence are in their hands.
