For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
(Isaiah 1:15; Romans 3:13-15.)
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity - not merely the "hands" perpetrate deeds of grosser enormity ("blood"), but the "fingers" commit more minute acts of "iniquity."
Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. The lips "speak" openly "lies," the tongue 'mutters' malicious insinuations ("perverseness;" perverse misrepresentations of others) (Jeremiah 6:28; Jeremiah 9:4).
