Isaiah:59:2-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God ,
and your sins have hid his face from you ,
that he will not hear .
*
For your hands are defiled with blood ,
and your fingers with iniquity ;
your lips have spoken lies ,
your tongue hath muttered perverseness .
*
None calleth for justice ,
nor any pleadeth for truth :
they trust in vanity ,
and speak lies ;
they conceive mischief ,
and bring forth iniquity .
*
They hatch cockatrice eggs ,
and weave the spiders web :
he that eateth of their eggs dieth ,
and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper #
eph #
eh #.
*
Their webs shall not become garments ,
neither shall they cover themselves with their works ma #
aseh #:
their works are works of iniquity ,
and the act of violence is in their hands .
*
Their feet run to evil ,
and they make haste to shed innocent blood :
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity ;
wasting and destruction are in their paths .
*
The way of peace they know not ;
and there is no judgment in their goings ma #
gal #:
they have made them crooked paths :
whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace .
*
Therefore is judgment far from us ,
neither doth justice overtake us :
we wait for light ,
but behold obscurity ;
for brightness ,
but we walk in darkness .
*
We grope for the wall like the blind ,
and we grope as if we had no eyes :
we stumble at noonday as in the night ;
we are in desolate places as dead men .
*
We roar all like bears ,
and mourn sore like doves :
we look for judgment ,
but there is none ;
for salvation y @
shuw #
ah #,
but it is far off from us .
*
For our transgressions are multiplied before thee ,
and our sins testify against us :
for our transgressions are with us ;
and as for our iniquities ,
we know them ;
*
In transgressing and lying against the LORD ,
and departing away from our God ,
speaking oppression and revolt ,
conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood .
