| Isaiah 59:1 |
|
Behold, the LORD'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, 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 hath muttered perverseness. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:4 |
|
None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for
truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:5 |
|
They hatch cockatrice' 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; wasting and destruction
are in their paths. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:8 |
|
The way of peace they know not; and there is
no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth
therein shall not know peace. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:9 |
|
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth
justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness,
but we walk in darkness. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:10 |
|
We grope for the wall like the blind, and we
grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in
desolate places as dead men. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:11 |
|
We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like
doves: we look for judgment, 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 |
|
In transgressing and lying against the LORD,
and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and
uttering from the heart words of falsehood. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:14 |
|
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice
standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:15 |
|
Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from
evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there
was no judgment. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:16 |
|
And he saw that there was no man, and wondered
that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and
his righteousness, it sustained him. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:17 |
|
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate,
and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance
for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:18 |
|
According to their deeds, accordingly he will
repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will
repay recompence. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 59:19 |
|
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from
the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come
in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:20 |
|
And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto
them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 59:21 |
|
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith
the LORD; 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 the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. |
