Separated from God
1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not ashortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will anot hear.
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will anot hear.
3 For ayour hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in aempty words and speak lies;
bThey conceive1 evil and bring forth iniquity.
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in aempty words and speak lies;
bThey conceive1 evil and bring forth iniquity.
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.
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 aTheir 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.
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
