Isaiah 59

CLV(i) 1 Behold! The hand of Yahweh is not too short to save! And His ear is not too heavy to hear! 2 But rather your depravities become a separation between you and your Elohim. And your sins conceal His face from you, from hearing you." 3 For your palms are sullied with blood, and your fingers with depravity. Your lips speak falsehood, your tongue iniquity is soliloquizing." 4 No one is calling in righteousness, and no one is being judged in faithfulness. They trust in chaos, and speak futility. They are pregnant with toil, and generate lawlessness." 5 The eggs of the yellow viper they hatch, and the webs of a spider are they weaving. The eater of their eggs shall die. And that pressed out of it will hatch a puff adder." 6 Their webs shall not become a garment, nor shall they cover themselves with their deeds. Their deeds are deeds of lawlessness. And the contrivance of violence is in their palms." 7 Their feet are running to evil, and they are hastening to shed innocent blood. Their devices are devices of lawlessness. Devastation and breaking and violence are in their highways." 8 The way of welfare they do not know, and no judgment is in their rounds. Their tracks they pervert for themselves. All those treading in them know no welfare." 9 Therefore, far is judgment from them, and justice is not overtaking them. They are expecting light, and behold! darkness. Brightness, yet in gloom are they going." 10 They are fumbling as the blind for the side wall, and, as if they have no eyes, they are fumbling. They stumble at noon as in the gloaming, among the stoutest as the death-doomed." 11 They are clamoring as bears--all of them. And as doves are they cooing, yea cooing. "We are expecting judgment, yet there is none. And salvation is far from us." 12 For multitudinous are our transgressions in front of You, and our sins answer against us. For our transgressions are with us, and our depravities, we know them:" 13 Transgression and dissimulation against Yahweh, and turning away from following our Elohim, speaking perversity and stubbornness, pregnant with and soliloquizing from the heart, words of falsehood." 14 And turned away backward is judgment, and justice is standing afar. For truth is stumbling in the square, and correctness cannot enter." 15 And it is coming that the truth is being deranged, and a withdrawer from evil is making himself loot.And Yahweh is seeing, and it is evil in His eyes, for there is no judgment." 16 And He is seeing that there is no man, and He is dejected that there is no intercessor. Yet His arm will save for Him, and His righteousness, it supports Him." 17 And He will put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and the helmet of salvation on His head. And he will put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and muffle as with a robe of jealousy." 18 As requitals, so will He repay fury to His foes, a requital to His enemies, to the coastlanders a requital will He repay." 19 And they from the west shall fear the name of Yahweh, and those from the rising of the sun, His glorious name. For the foe shall come as a stream. The spirit of Yahweh makes him flee." 20 And there comes to Zion the Redeemer, and "He shall turn back transgression from Jacob,averring is Yahweh." 21 And I--this is My covenant with them,says Yahweh. "My spirit, which is on you, and My word, which I place in your mouth, shall not remove from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed,says Yahweh, "Henceforth and till the eon."
