Behold,H2005 the LORD'sH3068 handH3027 is not shortened,H7114 that it cannotH3808 save;H3467 neitherH3808 his earH241 heavy,H3513 that it cannotH3808 hear:H8085
2
But your iniquitiesH5771 have separatedH914 betweenH996 you and your God,H430 and your sinsH2403 have hidH5641 his faceH6440 from you, that he will not hear.H8085
3
For your handsH3709 are defiledH1351 with blood,H1818 and your fingersH676 with iniquity;H5771 your lipsH8193 have spokenH1696 lies,H8267 your tongueH3956 has mutteredH1897 perverseness.H5766
4
NoneH369 callsH7121 for justice,H6664 norH369 any pleadsH8199 for truth:H530 they trustH982 in vanity,H8414 and speakH1696 lies;H7723 they conceiveH2029 mischief,H5999 and bringH3205 forthH3205 iniquity.H205
5
They hatchH1234 cockatrice'H6848 eggs,H1000 and weaveH707 the spider'sH5908 web:H6980 he that eatsH398 of their eggsH1000 dies,H4191 and that which is crushedH2116 breaksH1234 out into a viper.H660
6
Their websH6980 shall not becomeH1961 garments,H899 neitherH3808 shall they coverH3680 themselves with their works:H4639 their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquity,H205 and the actH6467 of violenceH2555 is in their hands.H3709
7
Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evil,H7451 and they make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 blood:H1818 their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquity;H205 wastingH7701 and destructionH7667 are in their paths.H4546
8
The wayH1870 of peaceH7965 they knowH3045 not; and there is noH369 judgmentH4941 in their goings:H4570 they have made them crookedH6140 paths:H5410 whoeverH3605 goesH1869 therein shall not knowH3045 peace.H7965
9
ThereforeH5921 H3651 is judgmentH4941 farH7368 from us, neitherH3808 does justiceH6666 overtakeH5381 us: we waitH6960 for light,H216 but beholdH2009 obscurity;H2822 for brightness,H5054 but we walkH1980 in darkness.H653
10
We gropeH1659 for the wallH7023 like the blind,H5787 and we gropeH1659 as if we had noH369 eyes:H5869 we stumbleH3782 at noonH6672 day as in the night;H5399 we are in desolateH820 places as deadH4191 men.
11
We roarH1993 allH3605 like bears,H1677 and mournH1897 sore like doves:H3123 we lookH6960 for judgment,H4941 but there is none;H369 for salvation,H3444 but it is farH7368 off from us.
12
For our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7231 beforeH5048 you, and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030 against us: for our transgressionsH6588 are with us; and as for our iniquities,H5771 we knowH3045 them;
13
In transgressingH6586 and lyingH3584 against the LORD,H3068 and departingH5253 away from our God,H430 speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revolt,H5627 conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehood.H8267
14
And judgmentH4941 is turnedH5253 away backward,H268 and justiceH6666 standsH5975 afarH7350 off: for truthH571 is fallenH3782 in the street,H7339 and equityH5229 cannotH3808 H3201 enter.H935
15
Yes, truthH571 fails;H5737 and he that departsH5493 from evilH7451 makes himself a prey:H7997 and the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, and it displeasedH7489 H5869 him that there was noH369 judgment.H4941
16
And he sawH7200 that there was noH369 man,H376 and wonderedH8074 that there was noH369 intercessor:H6293 therefore his armH2220 broughtH3467 salvationH3467 to him; and his righteousness,H6666 it sustainedH5564 him.
17
For he putH3847 on righteousnessH6666 as a breastplate,H8302 and an helmetH3553 of salvationH3444 on his head;H7218 and he putH3847 on the garmentsH899 of vengeanceH5359 for clothing,H8516 and was cladH5844 with zealH7068 as a cloak.H4598
18
AccordingH5921 to their deeds,H1578 accordinglyH5922 he will repay,H7999 furyH2534 to his adversaries,H6862 recompenseH1576 to his enemies;H341 to the islandsH339 he will repayH7999 recompense.H1576
19
So shall they fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 from the west,H4628 and his gloryH3519 from the risingH4217 of the sun.H8121 WhenH3588 the enemyH6862 shall comeH935 in like a flood,H5104 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall liftH5127 up a standardH5127 against him.
20
And the RedeemerH1350 shall comeH935 to Zion,H6726 and to them that turnH7725 from transgressionH6588 in Jacob,H3290 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
21
As for me, thisH2063 is my covenantH1285 with them, saidH559 the LORD;H3068 My spiritH7307 that is on you, and my wordsH1697 whichH834 I have putH7760 in your mouth,H6310 shall not departH4185 out of your mouth,H6310 nor out of the mouthH6310 of your seed,H2233 nor out of the mouthH6310 of your seed'sH2233 seed,H2233 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 from now onH3254 and for ever.H5769
