Behold,
the LORD'S
hand
is not shortened,
that it cannot save;
neither his ear
heavy,
that it cannot 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.
For your hands
are defiled
with blood,
and your fingers
with iniquity;
your lips
have spoken
lies,
your tongue
hath muttered
perverseness.
None calleth
for justice,
nor any pleadeth
for truth:
they trust
in vanity,
and speak
lies;
they conceive
mischief,
and bring forth
iniquity.

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,
and they make haste
to shed
innocent
blood:
their thoughts
are thoughts
of iniquity;
wasting
and destruction
are in their paths.
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 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 grope
for the wall
like the blind,
and we grope
as if we had no eyes:
we stumble
at noonday
as in the night;
we are in desolate
places as dead
men.
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
are multiplied
before thee, and our sins
testify
against us: for our transgressions
are with us; and as for our iniquities,
we know
them;
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 judgment
is turned away
backward,
and justice
standeth
afar off:
for truth
is fallen
in the street,
and equity
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.
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.
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 cloke.
According to
their deeds,
accordingly he will repay,
fury
to his adversaries,
recompence
to his enemies;
to the islands
he will repay
recompence.
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 the Redeemer
shall come
to Zion,
and unto them that turn
from transgression
in Jacob,
saith
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.
