YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Surely
the arm
of the
LORD
is
not too
short
to
save
, nor His ear too
dull
to
hear
.
Lo,
the hand
of Jehovah
Hath
not been
shortened
from
saving
, Nor heavy
his ear from
hearing
.
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 been
separating
Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The
Presence
from you --
from
hearing
.
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 have
been
polluted
with blood, And your fingers with iniquity ,
Your lips have spoken falsehood
, Your tongue perverseness
doth
mutter
.
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.
There
is
none
calling
in
righteousness,
And
there
is
none
pleading
in
faithfulness,
Trusting
on emptiness,
and speaking
falsehood,
Conceiving
perverseness,
and
bearing
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
.
Eggs of a
viper
they
have
hatched,
And webs
of
a spider
they
weave,
Whoso
is
eating
their eggs doth
die, And the
crushed
hatcheth
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
become
not
a
garment
, Nor
do
they cover themselves with their works ,
Their works
`
are '
works
of
iniquity
, And a
deed
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 to evil do
run,
And
they haste
to shed innocent blood ,
Their thoughts `
are '
thoughts of
iniquity,
Spoiling
and destruction `are'
in their highways
.
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.
A
way of peace they have not known, And there is no judgment
in their paths,
Their
paths
they have made
perverse
for
themselves,
No treader
in
it
hath
known
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 hath
judgment
been
far from us, And righteousness reacheth
us not,
We wait
for light, and
lo,
darkness ,
For brightness --
in thick
darkness
we
go,
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
feel
like the blind `for'
the wall, Yea,
as
without eyes we feel,
We
have
stumbled
at noon
as at
twilight ,
In
desolate
places
as
the dead.
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 make
a
noise
as
bears --
all
of
us,
And as
doves we coo
sorely;
We
wait
for judgment
, and
there
is
none, For salvation --
it hath
been
far 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 have
been
multiplied before Thee
, And our sins have
testified
against us ,
For
our transgressions `
are '
with us, And our iniquities --
we
have
known
them.
rebelling
and denying
the
LORD
, turning
away
from our God, speaking oppression and revolt
, conceiving and uttering lies
from the heart.
Transgressing,
and lying
against
Jehovah
, And
removing
from after
our God, Speaking oppression and apostacy
, 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
removed
backward
is judgment
, And righteousness afar
off
standeth,
For truth hath
been
feeble
in the street
, And straightforwardness
is
not
able
to
enter ,
Truth is missing
, and whoever
turns
from evil becomes
prey
. The
LORD
looked
and was
displeased
that there was
no justice
.
And
the
truth is lacking
, And whoso
is
turning
aside
from evil ,
Is
making
himself
a
spoil
. And Jehovah
seeth,
and
it
is
evil
in
His
eyes,
That there is
no judgment
.
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 seeth
that there is
no man ,
And
is
astonished
that there is
no intercessor,
And
His own arm giveth
salvation to
Him
, And His righteousness --
it
sustained 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 putteth
on righteousness as
a breastplate, And an
helmet of salvation on His head ,
And
He putteth
on garments of vengeance `for'
clothing,
And is
covered,
as
`with'
an
upper-robe,
`with'
zeal.
So
He
will
repay
according to their
deeds :
fury to His enemies
, retribution
to His foes
, and
recompense
to the islands
.
According to deeds --
so
He
repayeth.
Fury to His adversaries
, `their'
deed
to His enemies
, To the isles
`their'
deed
He
repayeth
.
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
they fear from
the west
the
name of Jehovah,
And
from
the rising
of
the sun --
His honour,
When
come in
as
a flood doth
an
adversary
, The Spirit
of Jehovah
hath
raised
an
ensign
against
him
.
“The
Redeemer
will
come to Zion, to those
in Jacob who
turn
from
transgression
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
come to Zion hath
a
redeemer
, Even
to captives
of
transgression
in Jacob, An
affirmation
of
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
I
--
this `
is '
My covenant with them, said
Jehovah,
My Spirit that
`is'
on
thee
, And My words that I have put in thy
mouth ,
Depart not
from thy
mouth ,
And
from the mouth
of thy
seed
, And from
the
mouth
of
thy
seed's
seed
, said
Jehovah,
From
henceforth
unto
the age!
