Isaiah 59

1BeholdH2005, the LORD’SH3068 handH3027 is notH3808 shortenedH7114, that it cannotH3808 saveH3467; neitherH3808 his earH241 heavyH3513, that it cannotH3808 hearH8085: 2but your iniquitiesH5771 have separatedH914 betweenH996 youH3588 and your GodH430, and your sinsH2403 have hidH5641 his faceH6440 from youH3588, that he will notH518 hearH8085. 3For your handsH3709 are defiledH1351 with bloodH1818, and your fingersH676 with iniquityH5771; your lipsH8193 have spokenH1696 liesH8267, your tongueH3956 muttereth wickednessH5766. 4NoneH369 sueth in righteousnessH6664, and noneH369 pleadeth in truthH530: they trustH982 in vanityH7723, and speakH1696 liesH7723; they conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bringH3205 forthH3205 iniquityH205. 5They hatchH1234 basilisks’ eggsH1000, and weaveH707 the spider’sH5908 webH6980: he that eateth of their eggsH1000 dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh outH1234 into a viperH660. 6Their websH6980 shall notH3808 becomeH1961 garmentsH899, neitherH3808 shall they coverH3680 themselvesH205 with their worksH4639: their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquityH205, and the actH4639 of violenceH2555 is in their handsH3709. 7Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they makeH4116 hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818: their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquityH205; desolation ard destructionH7667 are in their paths. 8The wayH1870 of peaceH7965 they knowH3045 notH3808; and there is noH3808 judgmentH4941 in their goings: they have madeH3045 them crookedH6140 pathsH4570; whosoever goeth therein doth notH3808 knowH3045 peaceH7965. 9Therefore is judgmentH4941 farH7368 from usH5921, neitherH3808 doth righteousnessH6666 overtakeH5381 usH5921: weH1980 lookH2009 for lightH216, but beholdH2009 darknessH2822; for brightnessH5054, but weH1980 walkH1980 in obscurityH2822. 10WeH4191 gropeH1659 for the wallH7023 like the blindH5787, yea, weH4191 gropeH1659 as they that have noH369 eyesH5869: weH4191 stumbleH3782 at noonday as in the twilightH5399; among them that are lusty weH4191 are as deadH4191 menH5787. 11WeH3605 roarH1993 allH3605 like bearsH1677, and mourn sore like dovesH3123: weH3605 lookH6960 for judgmentH4941, but there is noneH369; for salvationH3444, but it is farH7368 offH4480 from usH4480. 12For our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7235 beforeH5048 thee, and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030 againstH854 usH3045: for our transgressionsH6588 are with usH3045, and as for our iniquitiesH5771, weH3588 knowH3045 them: 13in transgressingH6586 and denyingH3584 the LORDH3068, and turning awayH310 from followingH310 our GodH430, speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627, conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehoodH8267. 14And judgmentH4941 is turned awayH7350 backwardH268, and righteousnessH6666 standeth afarH7350 offH7350: for truthH571 is fallenH935 in the streetH7339, and uprightness cannotH3808 enterH935. 15YeaH3588, truthH571 is lacking; and he that departeth from evilH7451 maketh himself a prey: and the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, and it displeasedH7489 him that there was noH369 judgmentH4941. 16And he sawH7200 that there was noH369 manH376, and wondered that there was noH369 intercessor: therefore his ownH376 armH2220 broughtH3467 salvationH3467 unto him; and his righteousnessH6666, it upheldH5564 him. 17And he putH3847 on righteousnessH6666 as a breastplateH8302, and an helmetH3553 of salvationH3444 uponH3847 his headH7218; and he putH3847 on garmentsH899 of vengeanceH5359 for clothingH899, and was clad with zealH7068 as a cloke. 18AccordingH5921 to their deedsH1578, accordingly he will repayH7999, furyH2534 to his adversaries, recompence to his enemiesH341; to the islandsH339 he will repayH7999 recompence. 19SoH935 shall they fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 from the westH4628, and his gloryH3519 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121: for he shall comeH935 as a rushing streamH5104, whichH7307 the breathH7307 of the LORDH3068 driveth. 20And a redeemerH1350 shall comeH935 to ZionH6726, and unto them that turnH7725 from transgressionH6588 in JacobH3290, saith the LORDH3068. 21And as for meH5921, this is my covenantH1285 with them, saith the LORDH3068: my spiritH7307 that is uponH5921 thee, and my wordsH1697 whichH834 I have putH7760 in thy mouthH6310, shall notH3808 departH4185 outH5921 of thy mouthH6310, norH3808 outH5921 of the mouthH6310 of thy seedH2233, norH3808 outH5921 of the mouthH6310 of thy seed’s seedH2233, saith the LORDH3068, from henceforth and for everH5769.
