Isaiah 59:1 Behold,2005 Jehovah's3068 hand3027 is not shortened,7114 that it cannot save;3467 neither his ear241 heavy,3513 that it cannot hear:8085 cr 2 but your iniquities5771 have separated914 between996 you and your God,430 and your sins2403 have hid5641 his face6440 from you, so that he will not hear.8085 cr 3 For your hands3709 are defiled1351 with blood,1818 and your fingers676 with iniquity;5771 your lips8193 have spoken1696 lies,8267 your tongue3956 muttereth1897 wickedness.5766 cr 4 None sueth7121{Hebrew calleth.} in righteousness,6664 and none pleadeth8199 in truth:530 they trust982 in vanity,8414 and speak1696 lies;7723 they conceive2029 mischief,5999 and bring forth3205 iniquity.205 cr 5 They hatch1234 adders'6848 eggs,1000 and weave707 the spider's5908 web:6980 he that eateth398 of their eggs1000 dieth;4191 and that which is crushed2116 breaketh out1234 into a viper.660 cr 6 Their webs6980 shall not become garments,899 neither shall they cover3680 themselves with their works:4639 their works4639 are works4639 of iniquity,205 and the act6467 of violence2555 is in their hands.3709 cr 7 Their feet7272 run7323 to evil,7451 and they make haste4116 to shed8210 innocent5355 blood:1818 their thoughts4284 are thoughts4284 of iniquity;205 desolation7701 and destruction7667 are in their paths.4546{Or, highways} cr 8 The way1870 of peace7965 they know3045 not; and there is no justice4941 in their goings:4570 they have made them crooked6140 paths;5410 whosoever goeth1869 therein doth not know3045 peace.7965 cr

Isaiah 59:9 Therefore is justice4941 far7368 from us, neither doth righteousness6666 overtake5381 us: we look6960 for light,216 but, behold, darkness;2822 for brightness,5054 but we walk1980 in obscurity.653 cr 10 We grope1659 for the wall7023 like the blind;5787 yea, we grope1659 as they that have no eyes:5869 we stumble3782 at noonday6672 as in the twilight;5399 among{Or, we are in dark places like the dead} them that are lusty820 we are as dead men.4191 cr 11 We roar1993 all like bears,1677 and moan1897 sore1897 like doves:3123 we look6960 for justice,4941 but there is none; for salvation,3444 but it is far off from us.7368 cr 12 For our transgressions6588 are multiplied7231 before thee, and our sins2403 testify6030 against us; for our transgressions6588 are with us, and as for our iniquities,5771 we know them:3045 cr 13 transgressing6586 and denying3584 Jehovah,3068 and turning away5253 from310 following our God,430 speaking1696 oppression6233 and revolt,5627 conceiving2029 and uttering1897 from the heart3820 words1697 of falsehood.8267 cr 14 And justice4941 is turned away5253 backward,268 and righteousness6666 standeth5975 afar off;7350 for truth571 is fallen3782 in the street,7339 and uprightness5229 cannot3201 enter.935 cr 15 Yea, truth571 is lacking;5737 and he that departeth5493 from evil7451 maketh himself a prey.7997 And Jehovah3068 saw7200 it, and it displeased3415 him that there was no justice.4941 cr 16 And he saw7200 that there was no man,376 and wondered8074 that there was no{Or, none to interpose} intercessor:6293 therefore his own arm2220 brought salvation3467 unto him; and his righteousness,6666 it upheld him.5564 cr 17 And he put on3847 righteousness6666 as a breastplate,8302{Or, coat of mail} and a{Or, salvation for a helmet} helmet3553 of salvation3444 upon his head;7218 and he put on3847 garments899 of vengeance5359 for clothing,8516 and was clad5844 with zeal7068 as a mantle.4598 cr 18 According to5921 their deeds,1578{Hebrew recompenses.} accordingly he will repay,7999 wrath2534 to his adversaries,6862 recompense1576 to his enemies;341 to the islands339{Or, coast-lands} he will repay7999 recompense.1576 cr 19 So shall they fear3372 the name8034 of Jehovah3068 from the west,4628 and his glory3519 from the rising4217 of the sun;8121 for{Or, when the adversary shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah will lift up a standard against him} he6862 will come935 as a{Hebrew a stream pent in.} rushing stream,5104 which the breath7307 of Jehovah3068 driveth.5127 cr 20 And a Redeemer1350 will come935 to Zion,6726 and unto them that turn7725 from transgression6588 in Jacob,3290 saith5002 Jehovah.3068 cr 21 And as for me, this is my covenant1285 with them, saith559 Jehovah:3068 my Spirit7307 that is upon thee, and my words1697 which I have put7760 in thy mouth,6310 shall not depart4185 out of thy mouth,6310 nor out of the mouth6310 of thy seed,2233 nor out of the mouth6310 of thy seed's2233 seed,2233 saith559 Jehovah,3068 from henceforth and for5704 ever.5769 cr
