For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 59 of Isaiah. Sin is described as a barrier produced by the people’s own iniquity, not by a lack of power in God. Injustice, violence, and lies contaminate collective life. In the absence of an intercessor, Yahweh himself intervenes with justice and establishes a covenant through his Spirit and word.

Denn eure Hände sind mit Blut befleckt und eure Finger mit Untugend; eure Lippen reden Falsches, eure Zunge dichtet Unrechtes.
Porque vuestras manos están contaminadas de sangre, y vuestros dedos de iniquidad; vuestros labios pronuncian mentira, habla maldad vuestra lengua.
Car vos mains sont souillées de sang, Et vos doigts de crimes; Vos lèvres profèrent le mensonge, Votre langue fait entendre l'iniquité.
Conciossiachè le vostre mani sieno contaminate di sangue, e le vostre dita d’iniquità; e le vostre labbra hanno proferita falsità, la vostra lingua ha ragionata perversità.
Porque as vossas mãos estão contaminadas de sangue, e os vossos dedos de iniqüidade; os vossos lábios falam falsidade, a vossa língua pronuncia perversidade.
因你們的手掌被血沾染, 你們的指頭被罪玷污, 你們的嘴唇說謊言, 你們的舌頭出惡語。
