Isaiah 59

59Indeed, the LORD's hand is not too short to save, and His ear is not too deaf to hear.H2005H3068H3027H7114H3467H241H3513H80852But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have made Him hide [His] face from you so that He does not listen.H5771H914H996H430H2403H5641H6440H80853For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and you mutter injustice.H3709H1351H1818H676H5771H8193H1696H8267H3956H1897H57664No one makes claims justly; no one pleads honestly. They trust in empty and worthless words; they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity.H7121H6664H8199H530H982H8414H1696H7723H2029H5999H3205H2055They hatch viper's eggs and weave spider's webs. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.H1234H6848H1000H707H5908H6980H398H1000H4191H2116H1234H6606Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are sinful works, and violent acts are in their hands.H6980H899H3680H4639H4639H4639H205H6467H2555H37097Their feet run after evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.H7272H7323H7451H4116H8210H5355H1818H4284H4284H205H7701H7667H45468They have not known the path of peace, and there is no justice in their ways. They have made their roads crooked; no one who walks on them will know peace.H1870H7965H3045H4941H4570H6140H5410H1869H3045H79659Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we live in the night.H4941H7368H6666H5381H6960H216H2822H5054H1980H65310We grope along a wall like the blind; we grope like those without eyes. We stumble at noon as though it were twilight; [we are] like the dead among those who are healthy.H1659H7023H5787H1659H5869H3782H6672H5399H820H419111We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, [but] it is far from us.H1993H1677H1897H1897H3123H6960H4941H3444H736812For our transgressions have multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities:H6588H7231H2403H6030H6588H5771H304513transgression and deception against the LORD, turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.H6586H3584H3068H5253H310H430H1696H6233H5627H2029H1897H3820H1697H826714Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far off. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.H4941H5253H268H6666H5975H7350H571H3782H7339H5229H3201H93515Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil is plundered. The LORD saw that there was no justice, and He was offended.H571H5737H5493H7451H7997H3068H7200H3415H5869H494116He saw that there was no man— He was amazed that there was no one interceding; so His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness supported Him.H7200H376H8074H6293H2220H3467H6666H556417He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and He wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak.H3847H6666H8302H3553H3444H7218H3847H899H5359H8516H5844H7068H459818Thus He will repay according to [their] deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and He will repay the coastlands.H5921H1578H7999H2534H6862H1576H341H339H7999H157619They will fear the name of the LORD in the west, and His glory in the east; for He will come like a rushing stream driven by the wind of the LORD.H3372H8034H3068H4628H3519H4217H8121H6862H935H5104H7307H3068H512720The Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression. [This is] the LORD's declaration.H1350H935H6726H7725H6588H3290H5002H306821"As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the LORD: "My Spirit who is on you, and My words that I have put in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouth of your children, or from the mouth of your children's children, from now on and forever," says the LORD.H1285H559H3068H7307H1697H7760H6310H4185H6310H6310H2233H6310H2233H2233H559H3068H5704H5769
