Isaiah 59:2-13

2but your iniquitiesH5771 have separatedH914 between you and your 1GodH430, and your sinsH2403 have hidH5641 [his] faceH6440 from you, that he doth not hearH8085.

3For your handsH3709 are stained with bloodH1818, and your fingersH676 with iniquityH5771; your lipsH8193 speakH1696 liesH8267, your tongueH3956 muttereth unrighteousnessH5766:

4none calleth for justice, none pleadeth in truthfulness. They trustH982 in vanityH7723, and speakH1696 falsehoodH7723; they conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bringH3205 forthH3205 iniquity.

5They hatchH1234 serpents' eggsH1000, and weaveH707 the spider's webH6980: he that eateth of their eggsH1000 dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viperH660.

6Their websH6980 shall not becomeH1961 garmentsH899, neither shall they coverH3680 themselves with their worksH4639; their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquity, and the act of violenceH2555 is in their handsH3709.

7Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they makeH4116 hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818; their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquity; wasting and destructionH7667 are in their paths;

8the wayH1870 of peaceH7965 they knowH3045 not, and there is no judgmentH4941 in their goings; they have madeH3045 their paths crookedH6140: whoso goeth therein knoweth not peaceH7965.

9ThereforeH3651 is justiceH4941 farH7368 from us, and righteousnessH6666 overtaketh us not: we waitH6960 for lightH216, and behold darknessH2822; for brightness, [but] we walkH1980 in obscurity.

10We gropeH1659 for the wallH7023 like the blindH5787, and we gropeH1659 as if we had no eyesH5869: we stumbleH3782 at midday as in the twilightH5399; amongst the flourishing we are as the deadH4191.

11We roarH1993 all like bearsH1677, and mourn grievously like dovesH3123: we look for judgmentH4941, and there is none; for salvationH3444, [but] it is farH7368 from us.

12For our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7235 before thee, and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030 against us; for our transgressionsH6588 are with us; and our iniquitiesH5771, we knowH3045 them:

13in transgressingH6586 and lyingH8267 against Jehovah, and departing away from our 2GodH430, speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revolt, conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehoodH8267.
