Isaiah 59:1-13

59:1

Behold
<02005>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

hand
<03027>

is not shortened
<07114> (8804)_,

that it cannot save
<03467> (8687)_;

neither his ear
<0241>

heavy
<03513> (8804)_,

that it cannot hear
<08085> (8800)_:

59:2

But your iniquities
<05771>

have separated
<0914> (8688)

between
<0996>

you and your God
<0430>_,

and your sins
<02403>

have hid
<05641> (8689)

[his] face
<06440>

from you, that he will not hear
<08085> (8800)_.

{have hid: or, have made him hide}

59:3

For your hands
<03709>

are defiled
<01351> (8738)

with blood
<01818>_,

and your fingers
<0676>

with iniquity
<05771>_;

your lips
<08193>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

lies
<08267>_,

your tongue
<03956>

hath muttered
<01897> (8799)

perverseness
<05766>_.

59:4

None calleth
<07121> (8802)

for justice
<06664>_,

nor [any] pleadeth
<08199> (8737)

for truth
<0530>_:

they trust
<0982> (8800)

in vanity
<08414>_,

and speak
<01696> (8763)

lies
<07723>_;

they conceive
<02029> (8800)

mischief
<05999>_,

and bring forth
<03205> (8687)

iniquity
<0205>_.

59:5

They hatch
<01234> (8765)

cockatrice
<06848>_'

eggs
<01000>_,

and weave
<0707> (8799)

the spider's
<05908>

web
<06980>_:

he that eateth
<0398> (8802)

of their eggs
<01000>

dieth
<04191> (8799)_,

and that which is crushed
<02116>

breaketh out
<01234> (8735)

into a viper
<0660>_.

{cockatrice': or, adder's} {crushed...: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper}

59:6

Their webs
<06980>

shall not become garments
<0899>_,

neither shall they cover
<03680> (8691)

themselves with their works
<04639>_:

their works
<04639>

[are] works
<04639>

of iniquity
<0205>_,

and the act
<06467>

of violence
<02555>

[is] in their hands
<03709>_.

59:7

Their feet
<07272>

run
<07323> (8799)

to evil
<07451>_,

and they make haste
<04116> (8762)

to shed
<08210> (8800)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_:

their thoughts
<04284>

[are] thoughts
<04284>

of iniquity
<0205>_;

wasting
<07701>

and destruction
<07667>

[are] in their paths
<04546>_.

{destruction: Heb. breaking}

59:8

The way
<01870>

of peace
<07965>

they know
<03045> (8804)

not; and [there is] no judgment
<04941>

in their goings
<04570>_:

they have made them crooked
<06140> (8765)

paths
<05410>_:

whosoever goeth
<01869> (8802)

therein shall not know
<03045> (8804)

peace
<07965>_.

{judgment: or, right}

59:9

Therefore is judgment
<04941>

far
<07368> (8804)

from us, neither doth justice
<06666>

overtake
<05381> (8686)

us: we wait
<06960> (8762)

for light
<0216>_,

but behold obscurity
<02822>_;

for brightness
<05054>_,

[but] we walk
<01980> (8762)

in darkness
<0653>_.

59:10

We grope
<01659> (8762)

for the wall
<07023>

like the blind
<05787>_,

and we grope
<01659> (8762)

as if [we had] no eyes
<05869>_:

we stumble
<03782> (8804)

at noonday
<06672>

as in the night
<05399>_;

[we are] in desolate
<0820>

places as dead
<04191> (8801)

[men].

59:11

We roar
<01993> (8799)

all like bears
<01677>_,

and mourn
<01897> (8799)

sore
<01897> (8800)

like doves
<03123>_:

we look
<06960> (8762)

for judgment
<04941>_,

but [there is] none; for salvation
<03444>_,

[but] it is far off
<07368> (8804)

from us.

59:12

For our transgressions
<06588>

are multiplied
<07231> (8804)

before thee, and our sins
<02403>

testify
<06030> (8804)

against us: for our transgressions
<06588>

[are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities
<05771>_,

we know
<03045> (8804)

them;

59:13

In transgressing
<06586> (8800)

and lying
<03584> (8763)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

and departing away
<05253> (8800)

from
<0310>

our God
<0430>_,

speaking
<01696> (8763)

oppression
<06233>

and revolt
<05627>_,

conceiving
<02029> (8780)

and uttering
<01897> (8774)

from the heart
<03820>

words
<01697>

of falsehood
<08267>_.
