59BEHOLD, THE Lord's hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save, nor His ear dull with deafness, that it cannot hear.H2005H3068H3027H7114H3467H241H3513H8085 2But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.H5771H914H996H430H2403H5641H6440H8085 3For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.H3709H1351H1818H676H5771H8193H1696H8267H3956H1897H5766 4None sues {or} calls in righteousness [but for the sake of doing injury to others--to take some undue advantage]; no one goes to law honestly {and} pleads [his case] in truth; they trust in emptiness, worthlessness {and} futility, and speaking lies! They conceive mischief and bring forth evil!H7121H6664H8199H530H982H8414H1696H7723H2029H5999H3205H205 5They hatch adders' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and [from an egg] which is crushed a viper breaks out [for their nature is ruinous, deadly, evil].H1234H6848H1000H707H5908H6980H398H1000H4191H2116H1234H660 6Their webs will not serve as clothing, nor will they cover themselves with what they make; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.H6980H899H3680H4639H4639H4639H205H6467H2555H3709 7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths {and} highways.H7272H7323H7451H4116H8210H5355H1818H4284H4284H205H7701H7667H4546 8The way of peace they know not, and there is no justice {or} right in their goings. They have made them into crooked paths; whoever goes in them does not know peace.H1870H7965H3045H4941H4570H6140H5410H1869H3045H7965 9Therefore are justice {and} right far from us, and righteousness {and} salvation do not overtake us. We expectantly wait for light, but [only] see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity {and} gloom.H4941H7368H6666H5381H6960H216H2822H5054H1980H653 10We grope for the wall like the blind, yes, we grope like those who have no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight; in dark places {and} among those who are full of life {and} vigor, we are as dead men.H1659H7023H5787H1659H5869H3782H6672H5399H820H4191 11We all groan {and} growl like bears and moan plaintively like doves. We look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.H1993H1677H1897H1897H3123H6960H4941H3444H7368 12For our transgressions are multiplied before You [O Lord], and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know {and} recognize them [as]:H6588H7231H2403H6030H6588H5771H3045 13Rebelling against and denying the Lord, turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving in and muttering {and} moaning from the heart words of falsehood.H6586H3584H3068H5253H310H430H1696H6233H5627H2029H1897H3820H1697H8267 14Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street (the city's forum), and uprightness cannot enter [the courts of justice].H4941H5253H268H6666H5975H7350H571H3782H7339H5229H3201H935 15Yes, truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.H571H5737H5493H7451H7997H3068H7200H3415H5869H4941 16And He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor [no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right]; therefore His own arm brought Him victory, and His own righteousness [having the Spirit without measure] sustained Him.H7200H376H8074H6293H2220H3467H6666H5564 17For [the Lord] put on righteousness as a breastplate {or} coat of mail, and salvation as a helmet upon His head; He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal [and furious divine jealousy] as a cloak.H3847H6666H8302H3553H3444H7218H3847H899H5359H8516H5844H7068H4598 18According as their deeds deserve, so will He repay wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; on the foreign islands {and} coastlands He will make compensation.H5921H1578H7999H2534H6862H1576H341H339H7999H1576 19So [as the result of the Messiah's intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him {and} put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].H3372H8034H3068H4628H3519H4217H8121H6862H935H5104H7307H3068H5127 20He shall come as a Redeemer to Zion and to those in Jacob (Israel) who turn from transgression, says the Lord.H1350H935H6726H7725H6588H3290H5002H3068 21As for Me, this is My covenant {or} league with them, says the Lord: My Spirit, Who is upon you [and Who writes the law of God inwardly on the heart], and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your [true, spiritual] children, or out of the mouths of your children's children, says the Lord, from henceforth and forever.H1285H559H3068H7307H1697H7760H6310H4185H6310H6310H2233H6310H2233H2233H559H3068H5704H5769
