Isaiah 59:1-8

Rotherham(i) 1 Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short, to save,––Neither is his ear too heavy, to hear. 2 But, your iniquities, have become separators betwixt you and your God, And, your sins, have caused a hiding of face from you, that he should not hear. 3 For, your hands, are defiled with blood, And, your fingers, with iniquity,––Your lips, have spoken falsehood, and, Your tongue, muttereth, perversity. 4 None, sueth in righteousness, and, None, pleadeth in faithfulness,––Men are trusting in confusion, And speaking vanity, Conceiving wickedness, And bringing forth iniquity: 5 Viper’s eggs, do they hatch, Spider’s threads, do they weave,––He that eateth of their eggs, dieth, And, that which is crushed, bringeth forth an adder; 6 Their threads, shall not become a garment, Neither shall they cover themselves with their fabrics,––Their fabrics, are fabrics of iniquity, Yea, the product of violence, is in their hands; 7 Their feet, to mischief, do run, And they speed to shed innocent blood,––Their devices, are devices of iniquity, Wasting and destruction, are in their high roads; 8 The way of well–being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks,––Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None, who treadeth therein, knoweth well––being.
