Isaiah 59:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 But your (A)wrongdoings have caused a separation between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His [a]face from you so that He does (B)not hear.
3 For your (C)hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with wrongdoing;
Your lips have spoken (D)deceit,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 (E)No one sues righteously and (F)no one pleads [b]honestly.
They (G)trust in confusion and speak lies;
They (H)conceive trouble and give birth to disaster.

2 But your iniquities have separated(A)
you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.(B)

Your lips have spoken falsely,(E)
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
