Isaiah 59:7-21

71Their feet run to evil, And they hasten to shed innocent blood; 2Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, Devastation and destruction are in their highways.8They do not know the 3way of peace, And there is 4no justice in their tracks; They have made their paths crooked, 5Whoever treads on 6them does not know peace.

9Therefore 7justice is far from us, And righteousness does not overtake us; We 8hope for light, but behold, darkness, For brightness, but we walk in gloom.10We 9grope along the wall like blind men, We grope like those who have no eyes; We 10stumble at midday as in the twilight, Among those who are vigorous we are 11like dead men.11All of us growl like bears, And 12moan sadly like doves; We hope for 13justice, but there is none, For salvation, but it is far from us.12For our 14transgressions are multiplied before You, And our 15sins 16testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And 17we know our iniquities:13Transgressing and 18denying the Lord, And turning away from our God, Speaking 19oppression and revolt, Conceiving in and 20uttering from the heart lying words.1421Justice is turned back, And 22righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter.15Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil 23makes himself a prey. Now the Lord saw, And it was 24displeasing in His sight 25that there was no justice.16And He saw that there was 26no man, And was astonished that there was no one to intercede; Then His 27own arm brought salvation to Him, And His righteousness upheld Him.17He put on 28righteousness like a breastplate, And a 29helmet of salvation on His head; And He put on 30garments of vengeance for clothing And wrapped Himself with 31zeal as a mantle.1832According to their 33deeds, 34so He will repay, Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; To the coastlands He will 35make recompense.19So they will fear the name of the Lord from the 36west And His glory from the 37rising of the sun, For He will 38come like a 39rushing stream Which the wind of the Lord drives.20“A 40Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who 41turn from transgression in Jacob,” declares the Lord.

21“As for Me, this is My 42covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My 43Spirit which is upon you, and My 44words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your 45offspring, nor from the mouth of your 46offspring’s offspring,” says the Lord, “from now and forever.”
