| Isaiah 59:1 | Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: |
| Isaiah 59:2 | But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. |
| Isaiah 59:3 | For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. |
| Isaiah 59:4 | None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. |
| Isaiah 59:5 | They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. |
| Isaiah 59:6 | Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. |
| 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. |
| Isaiah 59:8 | The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. |
| Isaiah 59:9 | 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. |
| 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 in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. |
| Isaiah 59:11 | We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. |
| Isaiah 59:12 | 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; |
| Isaiah 59:13 | 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. |
| Isaiah 59:14 | And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. |
| Isaiah 59:15 | Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. |
| Isaiah 59:16 | And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. |
| Isaiah 59:17 | For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. |
| Isaiah 59:18 | According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. |
| Isaiah 59:19 | So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. |
| Isaiah 59:20 | And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. |
