MLV(i)
2 But your* iniquities have separated between you* and your* God and your* sins have hid his face from you* so that he will not hear.
3 For your* hands are defiled with blood and your* fingers with iniquity. Your* lips have spoken lies. Your* tongue mutters wickedness. 4 No man sues in righteousness and no man pleads in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring forth wickedness. 5 They hatch adders' eggs and weave the spider's web. He who eats of their eggs dies and what is crushed breaks out into a viper. 6 Their webs will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of wickedness and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness. Desolation and destruction are in their paths. 8 They do not know the way of peace and there is no justice in their goings. They have made them crooked paths. Whoever goes in it does not know peace.
9 Therefore justice is far from us, nor does righteousness overtake us. We look for light, but, behold, darkness, for brightness, but we walk in obscurity. 10 We grope for the wall like the blind. Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight. We are as dead men in desolate places. 11 We all roar like bears and moan greatly like doves. We look for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us and as for our iniquities, we know them: 13 transgressing and denying Jehovah and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
