Isaiah 59
59Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.H2005H3068H3027H7114H3467H241H3513H80852But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.H5771H914H996H430H2403H5641H6440H80853For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity.H3709H1351H1818H676H5771H8193H1696H8267H3956H1897H57664No one calls for justice, Nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.H7121H6664H8199H530H982H8414H1696H7723H2029H5999H3205H2055They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; He who eats of their eggs dies, And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.H1234H6848H1000H707H5908H6980H398H1000H4191H2116H1234H6606Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands.H6980H899H3680H4639H4639H4639H205H6467H2555H37097Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths.H7272H7323H7451H4116H8210H5355H1818H4284H4284H205H7701H7667H45468The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.H1870H7965H3045H4941H4570H6140H5410H1869H3045H79659Therefore justice is far from us, Nor does righteousness overtake us; We look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness!H4941H7368H6666H5381H6960H216H2822H5054H1980H65310We grope for the wall like the blind, And we grope as if we had no eyes; We stumble at noonday as at twilight; We are as dead men in desolate places.H1659H7023H5787H1659H5869H3782H6672H5399H820H419111We all growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We look for justice, but there is none; For salvation, but it is far from us.H1993H1677H1897H1897H3123H6960H4941H3444H736812For our transgressions are multiplied before You, And our sins testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And as for our iniquities, we know them:H6588H7231H2403H6030H6588H5771H304513In transgressing and lying against the LORD, And departing from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.H6586H3584H3068H5253H310H430H1696H6233H5627H2029H1897H3820H1697H826714Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter.H4941H5253H268H6666H5975H7350H571H3782H7339H5229H3201H93515So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice.H571H5737H5493H7451H7997H3068H7200H3415H5869H494116He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.H7200H376H8074H6293H2220H3467H6666H556417For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak.H3847H6666H8302H3553H3444H7218H3847H899H5359H8516H5844H7068H459818According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay.H5921H1578H7999H2534H6862H1576H341H339H7999H157619So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.H3372H8034H3068H4628H3519H4217H8121H6862H935H5104H7307H3068H512720"The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob," Says the LORD.H1350H935H6726H7725H6588H3290H5002H306821"As for Me," says the LORD, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants," says the LORD, "from this time and forevermore."H1285H559H3068H7307H1697H7760H6310H4185H6310H6310H2233H6310H2233H2233H559H3068H5704H5769
