13 We have transgressed and denied Jehovah;

We have turned our backs on our God.

We have spoken of oppression and revolt;+

We have conceived lies and muttered false words from the heart.+

 4 They speak empty words, make false oaths,+ and make covenants;

So the judgment that springs up is like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.+

 7 You turn justice into wormwood,*

And you cast righteousness to the earth.+
