‏ Isaiah 59:3

v. 3–8: Isaiah lists the many ways people have sinned. Their hands are stained with blood, their lips speak lies, and their hearts plan evil (Isaiah 59:3 a). They are violent, dishonest, and show no concern for justice. They think evil thoughts, plan wickedness, and carry out destructive actions. They are quick to do harm and spread trouble wherever they go (Isaiah 59:4–7 b). No one stands up for what is right or seeks the truth. Instead, they trust in empty promises and chase after worthless things. Their ways are crooked, and anyone who follows them will never find peace (Isaiah 59:8 c). Sin not only offends God but also ruins lives and communities.
