Isaiah59:3
Ver. 3. For your hands are defiled with blood] The Prophet well knew, that theſe perverſe Jews would ſtand upon their juſtification, and put God to his proofs (as their poſterity alſo did, Jer. 2.35.) catalogum ergo bene longum texit, therefore he here brings in a long bedrol of their ſins; wherein their hands, lips, heart, feet, &c. were found guilty of high offence. See chap. 1.15.
Your lips have ſpoken lyes] Thoſe very lips of yours that have uttered prayers, have muttered lyes. See James 3.10.
And your tongue hath muttered perverſeneſſe] How this was done, none hath better ſet forth than the Prophet Jeremy, chap. 9.3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
