Isaiah 59:1-15 Behold, the hand of Jehovah was not shortened from saving, and his ear heavy from hearing:

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Behold, the hand of Jehovah was not shortened from saving, and his ear heavy from hearing: ² But your iniquities were separating between you and between your God, and your sins caused to hide;the face from you from hearing. ³ For your hands were polluted with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips spake falsehood, your tongue will mutter evil. ⁴ None called upon justice, and none judged in truth: trusting in vanity and speaking evil, they conceived labor and brought forth vanity. ⁵ They plundered vipers' eggs, and they will weave spiders webs: he eating from their eggs shall die, and being crushed, it shall break forth a viper. ⁶ Their webs shall not be for a garment, and they shall not be covered with their works: their works the works of vanity, and the work of violence in their hands. ⁷ Their feet will run to evil, and they will hasten to pour out innocent blood: their purposes, purposes of vanity; destruction and breaking in their highways. ⁸ The way of peace they knew not, and no judgment in their paths: they perverted their beaten paths for themselves: every one treading in it shall not know peace. ⁹ For this judgment was far off from us, and justice shall not overtake us: we shall wait for light, and behold, darkness; for brightness, and we shall walk in thick darkness. ¹⁰ We shall feel for the wall as the blind, and we shall feel, as no eyes: we stumbled at noon as at evening twilight; in fertile fields as the dead. ¹¹ We shall growl as bears all of us, and murmuring we shall murmur as doves: we shall wait for judgment, and none; for salvation, it was far from us. ¹² For our transgressions were multiplied before thee, and our sins answered against us: for our transgressions are with us, and our iniquities we knew them. ¹³ Transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and departing from after our God, speaking violence and apostasy, they conceived and muttered from the heart words of falsehood. ¹⁴ And judgment was turned away behind, and justice shall stand from far off: for truth fainted in the street, and right will not be able to come in. ¹⁵ And truth shall be lacking; and he departing from evil being plundered: and Jehovah will see, and it will be evil in his eyes, for no judgment
