1 Behold 2005, the LORD'S 3068 hand 3027 is not shortened 7114, that it cannot save 3467; neither his ear 241 heavy 3513, that it cannot hear 8085:
2 But your iniquities 5771 have separated 914 between 996 you and your God 430, and your sins 2403 have hid 5641 his face 6440 from you, that he will not hear 8085.
3 For your hands 3709 are defiled 1351 with blood 1818, and your fingers 676 with iniquity 5771; your lips 8193 have spoken 1696 lies 8267, your tongue 3956 hath muttered 1897 perverseness 5766.
4 None calleth 7121 for justice 6664, nor any pleadeth 8199 for truth 530: they trust 982 in vanity 8414, and speak 1696 lies 7723; they conceive 2029 mischief 5999, and bring forth 3205 iniquity 205.
5 They hatch 1234 cockatrice 6848' eggs 1000, and weave 707 the spider's 5908 web 6980: he that eateth 398 of their eggs 1000 dieth 4191, and that which is crushed 2116 breaketh out 1234 into a viper 660.
6 Their webs 6980 shall not become garments 899, neither shall they cover 3680 themselves with their works 4639: their works 4639 are works 4639 of iniquity 205, and the act 6467 of violence 2555 is in their hands 3709.
7 Their feet 7272 run 7323 to evil 7451, and they make haste 4116 to shed 8210 innocent 5355 blood 1818: their thoughts 4284 are thoughts 4284 of iniquity 205; wasting 7701 and destruction 7667 are in their paths 4546.
8 The way 1870 of peace 7965 they know 3045 not; and there is no judgment 4941 in their goings 4570: they have made them crooked 6140 paths 5410: whosoever goeth 1869 therein shall not know 3045 peace 7965.
9 Therefore is judgment 4941 far 7368 from us, neither doth justice 6666 overtake 5381 us: we wait 6960 for light 216, but behold obscurity 2822; for brightness 5054, but we walk 1980 in darkness 653.
10 We grope 1659 for the wall 7023 like the blind 5787, and we grope 1659 as if we had no eyes 5869: we stumble 3782 at noonday 6672 as in the night 5399; we are in desolate 820 places as dead 4191 men.
11 We roar 1993 all like bears 1677, and mourn 1897 sore 1897 like doves 3123: we look 6960 for judgment 4941, but there is none; for salvation 3444, but it is far off 7368 from us.
12 For our transgressions 6588 are multiplied 7231 before thee, and our sins 2403 testify 6030 against us: for our transgressions 6588 are with us; and as for our iniquities 5771, we know 3045 them;
13 In transgressing 6586 and lying 3584 against the LORD 3068, and departing away 5253 from 310 our God 430, speaking 1696 oppression 6233 and revolt 5627, conceiving 2029 and uttering 1897 from the heart 3820 words 1697 of falsehood 8267.
14 And judgment 4941 is turned away 5253 backward 268, and justice 6666 standeth 5975 afar off 7350: for truth 571 is fallen 3782 in the street 7339, and equity 5229 cannot 3201 enter 935.
15 Yea, truth 571 faileth 5737; and he that departeth 5493 from evil 7451 maketh himself a prey 7997: and the LORD 3068 saw 7200 it, and it displeased 3415 5869 him that there was no judgment 4941.
16 And he saw 7200 that there was no man 376, and wondered 8074 that there was no intercessor 6293: therefore his arm 2220 brought salvation 3467 unto him; and his righteousness 6666, it sustained 5564 him.
17 For he put on 3847 righteousness 6666 as a breastplate 8302, and an helmet 3553 of salvation 3444 upon his head 7218; and he put on 3847 the garments 899 of vengeance 5359 for clothing 8516, and was clad 5844 with zeal 7068 as a cloke 4598.
18 According to 5921 their deeds 1578, accordingly he will repay 7999, fury 2534 to his adversaries 6862, recompence 1576 to his enemies 341; to the islands 339 he will repay 7999 recompence 1576.
19 So shall they fear 3372 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 from the west 4628, and his glory 3519 from the rising 4217 of the sun 8121. When the enemy 6862 shall come in 935 like a flood 5104, the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 shall lift up a standard 5127 against him.
20 And the Redeemer 1350 shall come 935 to Zion 6726, and unto them that turn 7725 from transgression 6588 in Jacob 3290, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
21 As for me, this is my covenant 1285 with them, saith 559 the LORD 3068; My spirit 7307 that is upon thee, and my words 1697 which I have put 7760 in thy mouth 6310, shall not depart 4185 out of thy mouth 6310, nor out of the mouth 6310 of thy seed 2233, nor out of the mouth 6310 of thy seed's 2233 seed 2233, saith 559 the LORD 3068, from henceforth and for 5704 ever 5769.
