Isaiah 59:4-21

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>_.

59:14

And judgment
<04941>

is turned away
<05253> (8717)

backward
<0268>_,

and justice
<06666>

standeth
<05975> (8799)

afar off
<07350>_:

for truth
<0571>

is fallen
<03782> (8804)

in the street
<07339>_,

and equity
<05229>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

enter
<0935> (8800)_.

59:15

Yea, truth
<0571>

faileth
<05737> (8737)_;

and he [that] departeth
<05493> (8804)

from evil
<07451>

maketh himself a prey
<07997> (8711)_:

and the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], and it displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

him that [there was] no judgment
<04941>_.

{maketh...: or, is accounted mad} {it displeased...: Heb. it was evil in his eyes}

59:16

And he saw
<07200> (8799)

that [there was] no man
<0376>_,

and wondered
<08074> (8709)

that [there was] no intercessor
<06293> (8688)_:

therefore his arm
<02220>

brought salvation
<03467> (8686)

unto him; and his righteousness
<06666>_,

it sustained
<05564> (8804)

him.

59:17

For he put on
<03847> (8799)

righteousness
<06666>

as a breastplate
<08302>_,

and an helmet
<03553>

of salvation
<03444>

upon his head
<07218>_;

and he put on
<03847> (8799)

the garments
<0899>

of vengeance
<05359>

[for] clothing
<08516>_,

and was clad
<05844> (8799)

with zeal
<07068>

as a cloke
<04598>_.

59:18

According to
<05921>

[their] deeds
<01578>_,

accordingly he will repay
<07999> (8762)_,

fury
<02534>

to his adversaries
<06862>_,

recompence
<01576>

to his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

to the islands
<0339>

he will repay
<07999> (8762)

recompence
<01576>_.

{deeds: Heb. recompences}

59:19

So shall they fear
<03372> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

from the west
<04628>_,

and his glory
<03519>

from the rising
<04217>

of the sun
<08121>_.

When the enemy
<06862>

shall come in
<0935> (8799)

like a flood
<05104>_,

the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall lift up a standard
<05127> (8790)

against him. {lift...: or, put him to flight}

59:20

And the Redeemer
<01350> (8802)

shall come
<0935> (8804)

to Zion
<06726>_,

and unto them that turn
<07725> (8802)

from transgression
<06588>

in Jacob
<03290>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

59:21

As for me, this [is] my covenant
<01285>

with them, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

My spirit
<07307>

that [is] upon thee, and my words
<01697>

which I have put
<07760> (8804)

in thy mouth
<06310>_,

shall not depart
<04185> (8799)

out of thy mouth
<06310>_,

nor out of the mouth
<06310>

of thy seed
<02233>_,

nor out of the mouth
<06310>

of thy seed's
<02233>

seed
<02233>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

from henceforth and for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.
