Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 59:1 - Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 59:3 - For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 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.
