For (A)your hands are defiled with [a]blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in (B)empty words and speak lies;
(C)They conceive [b]evil and bring forth iniquity.
They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.

Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.

And they make haste to shed (F)innocent blood;
(G)Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and (H)destruction are in their paths.
