Isaiah 59:2-13

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.
