Berean Standard Bible
Isaiah 59:1-8
1Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save,nor His ear too dull to hear.2But your iniquities have built barriersbetween you and your God,and your sins have hidden His face from you,so that He does not hear.3For your hands are stained with blood,and your fingers with iniquity;your lips have spoken lies,and your tongue mutters injustice.
4No one calls for justice;no one pleads his case honestly.They rely on empty pleas; they tell lies;they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.5They hatch the eggs of vipersand weave a spider’s web.Whoever eats their eggs will die;crack one open, and a viper is hatched.6Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing,and they cannot cover themselves with their works.Their deeds are sinful deeds,and acts of violence are in their hands.
7Their feet run to evil;they are swift to shed innocent blood.Their thoughts are sinful thoughts;ruin and destruction1 lie in their wake.8The way of peace they have not known,2and there is no justice in their tracks.They have turned them into crooked paths;no one who treads on them will know peace.
