Isaiah 59:1 Behold,2005 the LORD'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{Or, have made him hide} his face6440 from you, 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 hath muttered1897 perverseness.5766 cr 4 None calleth7121 for justice,6664 nor any pleadeth8199 for truth:530 they trust982 in vanity,8414 and speak1696 lies;7723 they conceive2029 mischief,5999 and bring forth3205 iniquity.205 cr 5 They hatch1234 cockatrice'6848{Or, adders} 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{Or, that which is sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper} 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 wasting7701 and destruction7667{Heb. breaking} are in their paths.4546 cr 8 The way1870 of peace7965 they know3045 not; and there is no judgment4941{Or, right} in their goings:4570 they have made them crooked6140 paths:5410 whosoever goeth1869 therein shall not know3045 peace.7965 cr

Isaiah 59:9 Therefore is judgment4941 far7368 from us, neither doth justice6666 overtake5381 us: we wait6960 for light,216 but behold obscurity;2822 for brightness,5054 but we walk1980 in darkness.653 cr 10 We grope1659 for the wall7023 like the blind,5787 and we grope1659 as if we had no eyes:5869 we stumble3782 at noonday6672 as in the night;5399 we are in desolate820 places as dead4191 men. cr 11 We roar1993 all like bears,1677 and mourn1897 sore1897 like doves:3123 we look6960 for judgment,4941 but there is none; for salvation,3444 but it is far off7368 from us. 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 know3045 them; cr 13 In transgressing6586 and lying3584 against the LORD,3068 and departing away5253 from310 our God,430 speaking1696 oppression6233 and revolt,5627 conceiving2029 and uttering1897 from the heart3820 words1697 of falsehood.8267 cr 14 And judgment4941 is turned away5253 backward,268 and justice6666 standeth5975 afar off:7350 for truth571 is fallen3782 in the street,7339 and equity5229 cannot3201 enter.935 cr 15 Yea, truth571 faileth;5737 and he that departeth5493 from evil7451 maketh himself a prey:7997{Or, is accounted mad} and the LORD3068 saw7200 it, and it displeased3415 5869 him{Heb. it was evil in his eyes} that there was no judgment.4941 cr

Isaiah 59:16 And he saw7200 that there was no man,376 and wondered8074 that there was no intercessor:6293 therefore his arm2220 brought salvation3467 unto him; and his righteousness,6666 it sustained5564 him. cr 17 For he put on3847 righteousness6666 as a breastplate,8302 and an helmet3553 of salvation3444 upon his head;7218 and he put on3847 the garments899 of vengeance5359 for clothing,8516 and was clad5844 with zeal7068 as a cloke.4598 cr 18 According to5921 their deeds,1578{Heb. recompences} accordingly he will repay,7999 fury2534 to his adversaries,6862 recompence1576 to his enemies;341 to the islands339 he will repay7999 recompence.1576 cr 19 So shall they fear3372 the name8034 of the LORD3068 from the west,4628 and his glory3519 from the rising4217 of the sun.8121 When the enemy6862 shall come in935 like a flood,5104 the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 shall lift up a standard5127{Or, put him to flight} against him. cr
