[1]BeholdH2005, the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 is not shortenedH7114[H8804], that it cannot saveH3467[H8687]; neither his earH241 heavyH3513[H8804], that it cannot hearH8085:[H8800]
[2]But your iniquitiesH5771 have separatedH914[H8688] betweenH996 you and your GodH430, and your sinsH2403 have hidH5641[H8689] his faceH6440 from you, that he will not hearH8085.[H8800]
[3]For your handsH3709 are defiledH1351[H8738] with bloodH1818, and your fingersH676 with iniquityH5771; your lipsH8193 have spokenH1696[H8765] liesH8267, your tongueH3956 hath mutteredH1897[H8799] perversenessH5766.
[4]None callethH7121[H8802] for justiceH6664, nor any pleadethH8199[H8737] for truthH530: they trustH982[H8800] in vanityH8414, and speakH1696[H8763] liesH7723; they conceiveH2029[H8800] mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205[H8687] iniquityH205.
[5]They hatchH1234[H8765] cockatrice'H6848 eggsH1000, and weaveH707[H8799] the spider'sH5908 webH6980: he that eatethH398[H8802] of their eggsH1000 diethH4191[H8799], and that which is crushedH2116 breaketh outH1234[H8735] into a viperH660.
[6]Their websH6980 shall not become garmentsH899, neither shall they coverH3680[H8691] themselves with their worksH4639: their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquityH205, and the actH6467 of violenceH2555 is in their handsH3709.
[7]Their feetH7272 runH7323[H8799] to evilH7451, and they make hasteH4116[H8762] to shedH8210[H8800] innocentH5355 bloodH1818: their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquityH205; wastingH7701 and destructionH7667 are in their pathsH4546.
[8]The wayH1870 of peaceH7965 they knowH3045[H8804] not; and there is no judgmentH4941 in their goingsH4570: they have made them crookedH6140[H8765] pathsH5410: whosoever goethH1869[H8802] therein shall not knowH3045[H8804] peaceH7965.
[9]Therefore is judgmentH4941 farH7368[H8804] from us, neither doth justiceH6666 overtakeH5381[H8686] us: we waitH6960[H8762] for lightH216, but behold obscurityH2822; for brightnessH5054, but we walkH1980[H8762] in darknessH653.
[10]We gropeH1659[H8762] for the wallH7023 like the blindH5787, and we gropeH1659[H8762] as if we had no eyesH5869: we stumbleH3782[H8804] at noondayH6672 as in the nightH5399; we are in desolateH820 places as deadH4191 menH8801.
[11]We roarH1993[H8799] all like bearsH1677, and mournH1897[H8799] soreH1897[H8800] like dovesH3123: we lookH6960[H8762] for judgmentH4941, but there is none; for salvationH3444, but it is far offH7368 from usH8804.
[12]For our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7231[H8804] before thee, and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030[H8804] against us: for our transgressionsH6588 are with us; and as for our iniquitiesH5771, we knowH3045 themH8804;
[13]In transgressingH6586[H8800] and lyingH3584[H8763] against the LORDH3068, and departing awayH5253[H8800] fromH310 our GodH430, speakingH1696[H8763] oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627, conceivingH2029[H8780] and utteringH1897[H8774] from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehoodH8267.
[14]And judgmentH4941 is turned awayH5253[H8717] backwardH268, and justiceH6666 standethH5975[H8799] afar offH7350: for truthH571 is fallenH3782[H8804] in the streetH7339, and equityH5229 cannotH3201[H8799] enterH935.[H8800]
[15]Yea, truthH571 failethH5737[H8737]; and he that departethH5493[H8804] from evilH7451 maketh himself a preyH7997[H8711]: and the LORDH3068 sawH7200[H8799] it, and it displeasedH3415[H8799][H5869] him that there was no judgmentH4941.
[16]And he sawH7200[H8799] that there was no manH376, and wonderedH8074[H8709] that there was no intercessorH6293[H8688]: therefore his armH2220 brought salvationH3467[H8686] unto him; and his righteousnessH6666, it sustainedH5564 himH8804.
[17]For he put onH3847[H8799] righteousnessH6666 as a breastplateH8302, and an helmetH3553 of salvationH3444 upon his headH7218; and he put onH3847[H8799] the garmentsH899 of vengeanceH5359 for clothingH8516, and was cladH5844[H8799] with zealH7068 as a clokeH4598.
[18]According toH5921 their deedsH1578, accordingly he will repayH7999[H8762], furyH2534 to his adversariesH6862, recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341[H8802]; to the islandsH339 he will repayH7999[H8762] recompenceH1576.
[19]So shall they fearH3372[H8799] the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 from the westH4628, and his gloryH3519 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121. When the enemyH6862 shall come inH935[H8799] like a floodH5104, the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall lift up a standardH5127 against himH8790.
[20]And the RedeemerH1350[H8802] shall comeH935[H8804] to ZionH6726, and unto them that turnH7725[H8802] from transgressionH6588 in JacobH3290, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
[21]As for me, this is my covenantH1285 with them, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; My spiritH7307 that is upon thee, and my wordsH1697 which I have putH7760[H8804] in thy mouthH6310, shall not departH4185[H8799] out of thy mouthH6310, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seedH2233, nor out of the mouthH6310 of thy seed'sH2233 seedH2233, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, from henceforth and forH5704 everH5769.
