Isaiah 59:4-8
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 59:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)No one sues righteously and (B)no one pleads [a]honestly.
They (C)trust in confusion and speak lies;
They (D)conceive trouble and give birth to disaster.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and (E)weave the spider’s web;
The one who eats of their eggs dies,
And from what is crushed, a snake breaks out.
6 Their webs will not become clothing,
Nor will they (F)cover themselves with their works;
Their (G)works are works of wrongdoing,
And an (H)act of violence is in their [b]hands.
7 (I)Their feet run to evil,
And they hurry to shed innocent blood;
(J)Their thoughts are thoughts of wrongdoing,
Devastation and destruction are in their paths.
8 They do not know the (K)way of peace,
And there is (L)no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
(M)Whoever walks on [c]them does not know peace.

Isaiah 59:4-8
New International Version
4 No one calls for justice;(A)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(B) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(C)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(D)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(E)
and spin a spider’s web.(F)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,

6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(G)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence(H) are in their hands.
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.(I)
They pursue evil schemes;(J)
acts of violence mark their ways.(K)

Jeremiah 23:10-14
New American Standard Bible
Jeremiah 23:10-14
New American Standard Bible
10 For the land is full of (A)adulterers;
For the land (B)mourns because of the curse.
The (C)pastures of the wilderness have dried up.
Their course is evil
And their might is not right.
11 “For (D)both prophet and priest are defiled;
Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their way will be like (E)slippery paths to them,
They will be driven away into the (F)gloom and fall down in it;
For I will bring (G)disaster upon them,
The year of their punishment,” declares the Lord.
13 “Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an (H)offensive thing:
They (I)prophesied by Baal and (J)led My people Israel astray.
14 Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a (K)horrible thing:
The committing of (L)adultery and walking in deceit;
And they strengthen the hands of (M)evildoers,
So that no one has turned back from his wickedness.
All of them have become to Me like (N)Sodom,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
Jeremiah 23:10-14
New International Version
Jeremiah 23:10-14
New International Version
10 The land is full of adulterers;(A)
because of the curse[a](B) the land lies parched
and the pastures(C) in the wilderness are withered.(D)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(E)
even in my temple(F) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(G)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(H)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(I)
and led my people Israel astray.(J)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(K)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(L)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(M)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(N)
They are all like Sodom(O) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(P)
