King James Version

Berean Standard Bible
Behold,
the LORD's
hand
is not shortened,
that
it
cannot
save ;
neither
his ear heavy,
that
it
cannot
hear :
Surely
the arm
of
the
LORD
is not too
short
to
save ,
nor
His ear too
dull
to
hear .
But your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your sins have hid
his face from you, that he will
not hear.
But your iniquities have built
barriers
between you and your God, and your sins have hidden
His face from you, so
that He does
not hear.
For your hands are defiled
with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered
perverseness
.
For your hands are stained
with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and
your tongue mutters
injustice
.
None
calleth
for justice ,
nor
any
pleadeth
for
truth:
they trust
in
vanity,
and
speak
lies; they conceive mischief ,
and bring
forth
iniquity.
No
one
calls
for justice ;
no
one
pleads
his
case
honestly.
They rely
on
empty
pleas;
they
tell
lies; they conceive mischief and give
birth
to
iniquity.
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.
They hatch the
eggs of
vipers
and weave a
spider’s
web .
Whoever
eats
their eggs will
die;
crack
one
open
, and a viper is
hatched
.
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.
Their cobwebs
cannot
be
made
into
clothing
, and
they cannot
cover themselves with their works .
Their deeds
are sinful
deeds
, and acts
of violence are
in their hands.
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
.
Their feet run to evil ;
they are
swift
to shed innocent blood .
Their thoughts are sinful
thoughts; ruin
and destruction lie
in their wake
.
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.
The way of peace they have
not known,
and there is no justice
in their tracks.
They have turned
them into
crooked paths ;
no
one
who
treads
on
them
will
know peace.
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
.
Therefore justice
is far from us, and
righteousness
does
not
reach
us .
We hope
for light, but there
is
darkness
; for brightness, but we walk in gloom
.
We
grope
for
the
wall
like the blind, and
we grope
as
if
we
had
no
eyes :
we stumble at noon
day
as in the night
; we are in
desolate
places
as
dead men
.
Like the blind, we feel
our
way
along
the
wall,
groping
like
those
without
eyes .
We stumble at midday
as in the twilight
; among
the
vigorous
we are like
the
dead.
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.
We all growl
like bears and moan
like doves .
We hope
for justice
, but find
none ,
for salvation, but it is far from us.
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;
For our transgressions are multiplied before You
, and our sins testify against us .
Our transgressions are indeed
with us, and
we know our
iniquities:
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
.
rebelling
and denying
the LORD, turning
away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies
from the heart.
And
judgment
is turned away backward
, and justice
standeth
afar
off:
for truth is
fallen
in the street
, and equity
cannot enter.
So
justice
is turned away, and righteousness
stands
at
a
distance.
For truth has
stumbled
in the public
square
, and honesty
cannot enter.
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
.
Truth is
missing,
and whoever
turns
from evil becomes
prey .
The LORD looked
and was
displeased that there was no justice
.
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.
He saw that there was no man ;
He
was
amazed
that there was no one
to
intercede.
So
His own
arm brought salvation ,
and His own
righteousness sustained Him.
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 cloak.
He put on righteousness like
a breastplate, and the
helmet of salvation on
His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped
Himself
in
a cloak of
zeal
.
According to their deeds ,
accordingly
he
will
repay,
fury to his adversaries
, recompence
to his enemies;
to the islands he
will
repay
recompence
.
So
He
will
repay
according to their deeds :
fury to His enemies
, retribution
to His foes,
and
recompense
to the islands.
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
.
So shall they fear the name of the LORD where
the sun
sets
, and His glory where
it
rises
. For
He
will
come like a raging
flood, driven
by
the breath
of the LORD.
And
the Redeemer shall
come to Zion, and
unto
them
that
turn from transgression in
Jacob
, saith
the LORD.
“
The Redeemer will
come to Zion, to
those
in
Jacob
who
turn from transgression, ”
declares
the LORD.
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith
the LORD ;
My spirit that
is
upon
thee
, and my words which
I have put in thy
mouth ,
shall
not depart out
of
thy
mouth ,
nor
out
of
the mouth
of thy
seed
, nor
out
of
the
mouth
of
thy
seed's
seed
, saith
the LORD ,
from
henceforth
and
for
ever
.
“
As for Me, this is My covenant with them, ”
says
the LORD .
“
My Spirit will
not
depart
from
you
, and My words that
I have put in your
mouth will
not depart from
your
mouth or
from
the mouths
of your
children
and
grandchildren
, from
now
on
and
forevermore
, ”
says
the LORD.
