The courtroom of Heaven was an eye witness, and the testimony was in; The road to Babylon captivity was about to begin. 2 Your persistent wrongdoing has come between you and your God; since you constantly reject and push God away, He had to turn aside and ignore your cries. 3 For your hands are covered with blood; your fingers are sticky with all manner of crimes; Your lips drip vicious lies; your tongue mutters all manner of wickedness. 4 Everyone misuses the judicial system, clogging it with twisted accusations and misleading testimony. With empty charges and baseless lies they conceive trouble and give birth to injustice. 5 They concoct and create the most poisonous things; it’s as if they hatch vipers’ eggs or weave spiders’ webs. Eat their eggs and die; crush one and a viper is hatched— yet more poison, hurt, and distrust. 6 There is nothing of value in their creations— the webs they weave are not fit to clothe or cover anyone. The products they make are nothing but trouble; violence comes naturally to them. 7 Their feet race to do evil; they rush to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are bent toward injustice; destruction and trouble line the roads of their lives. 8 They never travel the path of peace; no justice is found where they have been. They set a course down crooked roads; no one who follows their lead has a chance of knowing peace.
