American Standard Version
Surely
the
arm
of
the
LORD
is not too
short
to
save
, nor
His ear too
dull
to
hear .
Behold,
Jehovah's
hand
is not shortened
, that
it
cannot
save;
neither
his ear heavy,
that
it
cannot
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.
but your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your sins have hid
his face from you, so that he will
not hear.
For your hands are stained
with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and
your tongue mutters
injustice
.
For your hands are defiled
with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth
wickedness
.
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.
None
sueth
in
righteousness,
and
none
pleadeth
in
truth:
they trust
in
vanity,
and
speak
lies; they conceive mischief ,
and bring
forth
iniquity.
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
.
They hatch adders'
eggs ,
and weave the
spider's
web :
he
that
eateth
of
their eggs dieth
; and that
which
is
crushed
breaketh
out
into
a viper.
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 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 feet run to evil ;
they are
swift
to shed innocent blood .
Their thoughts are sinful
thoughts; ruin
and destruction lie
in their wake
.
Their feet run to evil ,
and
they make
haste
to shed innocent blood :
their thoughts are thoughts of
iniquity
; desolation
and destruction are
in their paths
.
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.
The way of peace they know
not ;
and there is no justice in their goings:
they have made
them crooked paths; whosoever
goeth
therein
doth
not
know peace.
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
.
Therefore is justice
far from us, neither
doth
righteousness overtake
us :
we look
for light, but ,
behold,
darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity
.
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
grope
for
the
wall
like the blind ;
yea
, we grope
as
they
that
have
no
eyes :
we stumble at noonday
as in the twilight; among them
that
are
lusty
we are as
dead men
.
We all growl
like bears and moan like doves .
We hope
for justice, but find
none ,
for salvation, but it is far from us.
We roar
all like bears ,
and moan sore
like doves :
we look
for justice, but there
is
none ;
for salvation, but it is far off
from us.
For our transgressions are multiplied before You
, and our sins testify against us .
Our transgressions are indeed
with us, and we
know
our iniquities:
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
:
rebelling
and denying the
LORD
, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies
from the heart.
transgressing
and denying Jehovah
, and
turning away from following
our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words
of
falsehood
.
So
justice is turned away, and righteousness stands
at
a
distance.
For truth has
stumbled
in the public
square
, and honesty
cannot enter.
And
justice is turned away backward
, and righteousness standeth
afar
off;
for truth is
fallen
in the street
, and uprightness
cannot enter.
Truth is missing,
and whoever
turns
from evil becomes
prey. The
LORD
looked
and was
displeased that there was no justice.
Yea,
truth is lacking;
and he
that
departeth
from evil maketh
himself
a
prey. And Jehovah
saw
it,
and
it
displeased him
that there was no justice.
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.
And
he saw that there was no man ,
and
wondered
that there was no intercessor:
therefore
his own arm brought salvation unto
him;
and his righteousness ,
it
upheld
him.
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.
And
he put on righteousness as
a breastplate, and a
helmet of salvation upon
his head; and
he put on garments of vengeance for
clothing,
and was
clad
with
zeal as
a
mantle
.
So
He
will
repay
according to their deeds :
fury
to
His
enemies
, retribution
to His foes
, and
recompense to the islands.
According to their deeds, accordingly
he
will
repay,
wrath
to his adversaries
, recompense to his
enemies;
to
the islands he
will
repay
recompense
.
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
.
So shall they fear the name of Jehovah
from
the west
, and his glory from
the
rising
of
the
sun;
for he will come as
a rushing
stream
, which
the breath of Jehovah
driveth
.
“The
Redeemer will come to Zion, to
those
in
Jacob
who
turn from transgression, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
a
Redeemer will come to Zion, and
unto
them
that
turn from transgression in
Jacob
, saith
Jehovah
.
“
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
.
And
as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith
Jehovah:
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
Jehovah,
from henceforth
and for
ever
.
