Isaiah 59:1-4

1Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short That it cannot save, Nor His ear so impaired That it cannot hear.

2But your wickedness has separated you from your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

3For your hands are defiled with blood And your fingers with wickedness [with sin, with injustice, with wrongdoing]; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue mutters wickedness.

4No one sues righteously [but for the sake of doing injury to others—to take some undue advantage], and no one pleads [his case] in truth; [but rather] They trust in empty arguments and speak lies; They conceive trouble and bring forth injustice.
