nkjv Isaiah:59:3-15
nkjv@Isaiah:59:3 @ For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:4 @ No one calls for justice, Nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:5 @ They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; He who eats of their eggs dies, And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:6 @ Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:7 @ 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.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:8 @ The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:9 @ Therefore justice is far from us, Nor does righteousness overtake us; We look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
nkjv@Isaiah:59:10 @ We grope for the wall like the blind, And we grope as if we had no eyes; We stumble at noonday as at twilight; We are as dead men in desolate places.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:11 @ We all growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We look for justice, but there is none; For salvation, but it is far from us.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:12 @ 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:
nkjv@Isaiah:59:13 @ In transgressing and lying against the LORD, And departing from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:14 @ Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter.
nkjv@Isaiah:59:15 @ So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice.
