LEB(i)
1 Look! The hand of Yahweh is not too short ⌊to save⌋,* and his ear is not too dull ⌊to hear⌋.*
2 Rather, your iniquities have been ⌊barriers⌋* between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, from hearing.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue speaks wickedness.
4 There is nobody ⌊who pleads with⌋* justice, and there is nobody who judges with honesty. They rely on nothing and speak vanity. They conceive trouble and beget iniquity;
5 they hatch viper eggs, and they weave a spider web. One who eats their eggs dies, and that which is pressed is hatched as a serpent.
6 Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and deeds* of violence are in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their highways.
8 They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their firm paths. They have made their paths crooked for themselves; everyone ⌊who walks⌋* in it knows no peace.
