Isaiah 59
1
Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save;
2
But your iniquities have separated you and your God,
3
For your hands are defiled with blood,
4
No one sues in righteousness,
5
They hatch adders’ eggs
6
Their webs won’t become garments.
7
Their feet run to evil,
8
They don’t know the way of peace;
9
Therefore justice is far from us,
10
We grope for the wall like the blind.
11
We all roar like bears
12
For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
13
transgressing and denying the LORD,
14
Justice is turned away backward,
15
Yes, truth is lacking;
16
He saw that there was no man,
17
He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
18
According to their deeds,
19
So they will fear the LORD’s name from the west,
20
“A Redeemer will come to Zion,
21
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from now on and forever.”
