2:8 Their land is full of worthless idols;
they worship 1 the product of their own hands,
what their own fingers have fashioned.
17:8 They will no longer trust in 2 the altars their hands made,
or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made. 3
59:3 For your hands are stained with blood
and your fingers with sin;
your lips speak lies,
your tongue utters malicious words.
59:16 He sees there is no advocate; 4
he is shocked 5 that no one intervenes.
So he takes matters into his own hands; 6
his desire for justice drives him on. 7
65:2 I spread out my hands all day long
to my rebellious people,
who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable,
and who did what they desired. 8
