² But the wrong things that you have done
    have made you separate from your God.
Your sins have caused him to turn away from you,
    so that he does not listen to your prayers.
³ Your hands are dirty with the blood of murder.
    They are dirty with all the bad things that you do.
Your mouth tells lies,
    and it says wicked things about other people.
⁴ When people accuse somebody in court,
    the truth is not important.
They tell lies and they deceive the judge,
    so that they will win.
They decide how they can cause trouble,
    and then they do wicked things.
