“But your iniquities have been separating || Between you and your God, || And your sins have hidden || The Presence from you—from hearing.”— Isaiah 59:2 (LSV)
1Behold, the hand of YHWH || Has not been shortened from saving, || Nor His ear heavy from hearing.
2But your iniquities have been separating || Between you and your God, || And your sins have hidden || The Presence from you—from hearing.
3For your hands have been defiled with blood, || And your fingers with iniquity, || Your lips have spoken falsehood, || Your tongue mutters perverseness.
4There is none calling in righteousness, || And there is none pleading in faithfulness, || Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, || Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
5They have hatched eggs of a viper, || And weave webs of a spider, || Whoever is eating their eggs dies, and the crushed hatches a viper.
