Isaiah 59:1-8

Thomson(i) 1 It is not that the hand of the Lord is unable to save; nor that his ear is grown dull to hear; 2 but your sins make a separation between you and your God; and on account of your sins he hath turned away his face from you that he may not exercise compassion. 3 For your hands are polluted with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips have spoken iniquity, and your tongue contriveth injustice. 4 None speaketh just things, nor is there any just judgment. They trusted in vanities and they speak lies. Because they hatch mischief, therefore they bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatched the eggs of asps, and are weaving a spider's web; and he who was about to eat some of their eggs, upon breaking one that was hatched found therein a viper. 6 Their web will not serve for a mantle, nor can they clothe themselves with their works; for their works are works of iniquity 7 Their feet are running to evil; they are swift to shed blood. And their reasonings are reasonings for murders. Destruction and misery are in their ways, 8 and the path of peace they do not know, nor is there any judgment in their ways; for the paths which they travel are crooked and peace they do not know.
