Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in aempty words and speak lies;
bThey conceive1 evil and bring forth iniquity.
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
And they make haste to shed binnocent blood;
cTheir thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and ddestruction are in their paths.
And there is no justice in their ways;
bThey have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
Sin Confessed
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
aWe look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
And amoan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering afrom the heart words of falsehood.
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
And he who departs from evil makes himself a aprey.
Then the Lord saw it, and1 it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
The Redeemer of Zion
And bwondered that there was no intercessor;
cTherefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
| << Isaiah 59:5 | Isaiah 59:7 >> |
