 |
| Isaiah 59:1 |
|
Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that
it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:2 |
|
but your iniquities have separated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:3 |
|
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your
fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:4 |
|
None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth
in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:5 |
|
They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's
web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out
into a viper. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:6 |
|
Their webs shall not become garments, neither
shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity,
and the act of violence is in their hands. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:7 |
|
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste
to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and
destruction are in their paths. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:8 |
|
The way of peace they know not; and there is
no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth
therein doth not know peace. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:9 |
|
Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth
righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness,
but we walk in obscurity. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:10 |
|
We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we
grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among
them that are lusty we are as dead men. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:11 |
|
We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves:
we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from
us. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:12 |
|
For our transgressions are multiplied before
thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and
as for our iniquities, we know them: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:13 |
|
transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning
away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering
from the heart words of falsehood. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:14 |
|
And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness
standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:15 |
|
Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth
from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that
there was no justice. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:16 |
|
And he saw that there was no man, and wondered
that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him;
and his righteousness, it upheld him. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:17 |
|
And he put on righteousness as a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for
clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:18 |
|
According to their deeds, accordingly he will
repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he
will repay recompense. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:19 |
|
So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from
the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing
stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:20 |
|
And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them
that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:21 |
|
And as for me, this is my covenant with them,
saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy
mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor
out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
