Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Lo
, the hand of
Jehovah
Hath
not been
shortened from
saving
, Nor
heavy
his ear from
hearing.
Behold
, the LORD's
hand is
not shortened, that
it
cannot
save;
neither
his ear heavy,
that
it
cannot
hear:
But your iniquities have been
separating
Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden
The
Presence
from you --
from
hearing
.
But your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your sins have hid
his
face
from you ,
that
he
will
not
hear
.
For your hands have
been
polluted
with blood, And your fingers with iniquity ,
Your lips have spoken falsehood
, Your tongue perverseness doth
mutter
.
For your hands are
defiled
with blood, and your fingers with iniquity ;
your lips have spoken lies
, your tongue hath
muttered
perverseness.
There
is
none calling
in
righteousness
, And
there
is
none
pleading
in faithfulness,
Trusting
on
emptiness
, and speaking
falsehood,
Conceiving
perverseness
, and bearing
iniquity.
None calleth
for
justice
, nor
any
pleadeth
for
truth:
they
trust
in vanity
, and speak
lies;
they
conceive
mischief
, and bring
forth
iniquity.
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.
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.
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 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 to evil do
run
, And they haste to shed innocent blood ,
Their thoughts `
are '
thoughts of iniquity ,
Spoiling
and destruction `
are '
in their highways
.
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
.
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.
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.
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,
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 .
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 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
.
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.
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.
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 .
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 ;
Transgressing ,
and lying against Jehovah
, And removing
from after
our God, Speaking oppression and apostacy
, Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood.
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.
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 ,
And judgment is
turned
away
backward
, and justice
standeth
afar off :
for truth is
fallen
in the street, and equity
cannot
enter .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
According to deeds --
so
He repayeth.
Fury to His adversaries, `their'
deed
to His enemies ,
To the isles
`their'
deed
He repayeth
.
According to their
deeds ,
accordingly
he will
repay,
fury to his adversaries, recompence
to his enemies ;
to the islands
he will
repay
recompence
.
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.
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.
And come to Zion hath
a
redeemer
, Even
to
captives
of
transgression in Jacob, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
And the
Redeemer
shall
come to Zion, and
unto
them
that
turn
from
transgression in Jacob, saith
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!
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.
