TSK · Isaiah 59:4

They conceive trouble and bring forth evil; their belly prepares deception.”

he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made.

They spend all their time planning how to bring him down. They love to use deceit; they pronounce blessings with their mouths, but inwardly they utter curses.(Selah)

For they cannot sleep unless they cause harm; they are robbed of sleep until they make someone stumble.

You conceive straw, you give birth to chaff; your breath is a fire that destroys you.

We have rebelled and tried to deceive the LORD; we turned back from following our God. We stir up oppression and rebellion; we tell lies we concocted in our minds.

Judah is Justly Deserving of Coming Judgment The LORD said,“Go up and down through the streets of Jerusalem. Look around and see for yourselves. Search through its public squares. See if any of you can find a single person who deals honestly and tries to be truthful. If you can, then I will not punish this city.

Stop putting your confidence in the false belief that says,“We are safe! The temple of the LORD is here! The temple of the LORD is here! The temple of the LORD is here!”

The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have wronged the poor and needy; they have oppressed the resident foreigner and denied them justice.

Faithful men have disappeared from the land; there are no godly men left. They all wait in ambush to shed blood; they hunt their own brother with a net.

Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
