³ For ^(A)your hands are defiled with ^[a]blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

² By swearing and lying,
Killing and stealing and committing adultery,
They break all restraint,
With bloodshed ^[a]upon bloodshed.

⁹ As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man,
So the company of ^(A)priests ^(B)murder on the way to Shechem;
Surely they commit ^(C)lewdness.
