Isaiah 59

1Behold, the Yahuah'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2But your iniquities have separated between you and your Elohim, and your sins have hid face from you, that he will not hear. 3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perverseness. 4None calleth for justice, nor pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5They 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. 6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works works of iniquity, and the act of violence in their hands. 7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction in their paths. 8The way of peace they know not; and no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. 9Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, we walk in darkness. 10We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; in desolate places as dead . 11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but none; for salvation, it is far off from us. 12For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions with us; and our iniquities, we know them; 13In transgressing and lying against the Yahuah, and departing away from our Elohim, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15yes, truth faileth; and he departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Yahuah saw , and it displeased him that no judgment. 16And he saw that no man, and wondered that no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 17For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. 18According to deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. 19So shall they fear the name of the Yahuah 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 Yahuah shall lift up a standard against him. 20And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says the Yahuah. 21As for me, this my covenant with them, says the Yahuah; My spirit that upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Yahuah, from henceforth and for ever.
