Isaiah 59:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² It is your evil that has separated
    you from your God.
Your sins cause him to turn away from you.
    And then he does not hear you.
³ With your hands you have killed others.
    Your fingers are covered with blood from killing people.
With your lips you have lied.
    With your tongue you say evil things.
⁴ People take each other to court unfairly.
    No one tells the truth in arguing his case.
They accuse each other falsely and tell lies.
    They cause trouble and create more evil.
