Behold,{H2005} Jehovah's{H3068} hand{H3027} is not shortened,{H7114} that it cannot save;{H3467} neither his ear{H241} heavy,{H3513} that it cannot hear:{H8085}

but your iniquities{H5771} have separated{H914} between{H996} you and your God,{H430} and your sins{H2403} have hid{H5641} his face{H6440} from you, so that he will not hear.{H8085}

For your hands{H3709} are defiled{H1351} with blood,{H1818} and your fingers{H676} with iniquity;{H5771} your lips{H8193} have spoken{H1696} lies,{H8267} your tongue{H3956} muttereth{H1897} wickedness.{H5766}

None sueth{H7121} in righteousness,{H6664} and none pleadeth{H8199} in truth:{H530} they trust{H982} in vanity,{H8414} and speak{H1696} lies;{H7723} they conceive{H2029} mischief,{H5999} and bring forth{H3205} iniquity.{H205}

They hatch{H1234} adders'{H6848} eggs,{H1000} and weave{H707} the spider's{H5908} web:{H6980} he that eateth{H398} of their eggs{H1000} dieth;{H4191} and that which is crushed{H2116} breaketh out{H1234} into a viper.{H660}

Their webs{H6980} shall not become garments,{H899} neither shall they cover{H3680} themselves with their works:{H4639} their works{H4639} are works{H4639} of iniquity,{H205} and the act{H6467} of violence{H2555} is in their hands.{H3709}

Their feet{H7272} run{H7323} to evil,{H7451} and they make haste{H4116} to shed{H8210} innocent{H5355} blood:{H1818} their thoughts{H4284} are thoughts{H4284} of iniquity;{H205} desolation{H7701} and destruction{H7667} are in their paths.{H4546}

The way{H1870} of peace{H7965} they know{H3045} not; and there is no justice{H4941} in their goings:{H4570} they have made them crooked{H6140} paths;{H5410} whosoever goeth{H1869} therein doth not know{H3045} peace.{H7965}

Therefore is justice{H4941} far{H7368} from us, neither doth righteousness{H6666} overtake{H5381} us: we look{H6960} for light,{H216} but, behold, darkness;{H2822} for brightness,{H5054} but we walk{H1980} in obscurity.{H653}

We grope{H1659} for the wall{H7023} like the blind;{H5787} yea, we grope{H1659} as they that have no eyes:{H5869} we stumble{H3782} at noonday{H6672} as in the twilight;{H5399} among them that are lusty{H820} we are as dead{H4191} men.

We roar{H1993} all like bears,{H1677} and moan{H1897} sore{H1897} like doves:{H3123} we look{H6960} for justice,{H4941} but there is none; for salvation,{H3444} but it is far off{H7368} from us.

For our transgressions{H6588} are multiplied{H7231} before thee, and our sins{H2403} testify{H6030} against us; for our transgressions{H6588} are with us, and as for our iniquities,{H5771} we know{H3045} them:

transgressing{H6586} and denying{H3584} Jehovah,{H3068} and turning away{H5253} from{H310} following our God,{H430} speaking{H1696} oppression{H6233} and revolt,{H5627} conceiving{H2029} and uttering{H1897} from the heart{H3820} words{H1697} of falsehood.{H8267}

And justice{H4941} is turned away{H5253} backward,{H268} and righteousness{H6666} standeth{H5975} afar off;{H7350} for truth{H571} is fallen{H3782} in the street,{H7339} and uprightness{H5229} cannot{H3201} enter.{H935}

Yea, truth{H571} is lacking;{H5737} and he that departeth{H5493} from evil{H7451} maketh himself a prey.{H7997} And Jehovah{H3068} saw{H7200} it, and it displeased{H3415} him that there was no justice.{H4941}

And he saw{H7200} that there was no man,{H376} and wondered{H8074} that there was no intercessor:{H6293} therefore his own arm{H2220} brought salvation{H3467} unto him; and his righteousness,{H6666} it upheld{H5564} him.

And he put on{H3847} righteousness{H6666} as a breastplate,{H8302} and a helmet{H3553} of salvation{H3444} upon his head;{H7218} and he put on{H3847} garments{H899} of vengeance{H5359} for clothing,{H8516} and was clad{H5844} with zeal{H7068} as a mantle.{H4598}

According to{H5921} their deeds,{H1578} accordingly he will repay,{H7999} wrath{H2534} to his adversaries,{H6862} recompense{H1576} to his enemies;{H341} to the islands{H339} he will repay{H7999} recompense.{H1576}

So shall they fear{H3372} the name{H8034} of Jehovah{H3068} from the west,{H4628} and his glory{H3519} from the rising{H4217} of the sun;{H8121} for he{H6862} will come{H935} as a rushing stream,{H5104} which the breath{H7307} of Jehovah{H3068} driveth.{H5127}

And a Redeemer{H1350} will come{H935} to Zion,{H6726} and unto them that turn{H7725} from transgression{H6588} in Jacob,{H3290} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

And as for me, this is my covenant{H1285} with them, saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} my Spirit{H7307} that is upon thee, and my words{H1697} which I have put{H7760} in thy mouth,{H6310} shall not depart{H4185} out of thy mouth,{H6310} nor out of the mouth{H6310} of thy seed,{H2233} nor out of the mouth{H6310} of thy seed's{H2233} seed,{H2233} saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} from henceforth and for{H5704} ever.{H5769}
