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.
For your (C)hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with wrongdoing;
Your lips have spoken (D)deceit,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
(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.
