Isaiah 59:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 59:5

3 For ^ayour hands are defiled with blood,
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.

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.

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.

7 ^aTheir feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed ^binnocent blood;
^cTheir thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and ^ddestruction are in their paths.

8 The way of ^apeace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
^bThey have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.

Sin Confessed

9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
^aWe look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
