  59:1 ¶
Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear? |
|
59:1 ¶
Behold,°
Yahweh's°
hand°
is not°
shortened,°°
that it cannot save;°°°
neither°
his ear°
heavy,°°
that it cannot hear:°°° |
|
59:2
Nay, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has he turned away [his] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you]. |
|
59:2
But°°
your iniquities°
have°
separated°°
between°
you and your Elohim,°
and your sins°
have hid°°
[his] face°
from°
you, that he will not hear.°°° |
|
59:3
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips also have spoken iniquity, and your tongue meditates unrighteousness. |
|
59:3
For°
your hands°
are defiled°°
with blood,°
and your fingers°
with iniquity;°
your lips°
have spoken°°
lies,°
your tongue°
hath muttered°°
perverseness.° |
|
59:4
None speaks justly, neither is there true judgment: they trust in vanities, and speak empty [words]; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity. |
|
59:4
None°
calleth°°
for justice,°
nor°
[any] pleadeth°°
for truth:°
they trust°°
in°
vanity,°
and speak°°
lies;°
they conceive°°
mischief,°
and bring forth°°
iniquity.° |
|
59:5
They have hatched asps' eggs, and weave a spider's web: and he that is going to eat of their eggs, having crushed an addled egg, has found also in it a basilisk. |
|
59:5
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.° |
|
59:6
Their web shall not become a garment, nor shall they at all clothe themselves with their works; for their works are works of iniquity. |
|
59:6
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.° |
|
59:7
And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways; |
|
59:7
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.° |
|
59:8
and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgment in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not peace. |
|
59:8
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.° |
|
59:9 ¶
Therefore has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity. |
|
59:9 ¶
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.° |
|
59:10
They shall feel for the wall as blind [men], and shall feel [for it] as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noon-day as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men. |
|
59:10
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]. |
|
59:11
They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgment, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us. |
|
59:11
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. |
|
59:12
For our iniquity is great before thee, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds. |
|
59:12
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; |
|
59:13
We have sinned, and dealt falsely, and revolted from our God: we have spoken unrighteous words, and have been disobedient; we have conceived and uttered from our heart unrighteous words. |
|
59:13
In transgressing°°
and lying°°
against Yahweh,°
and departing away°°
from°°
our Elohim,°
speaking°°
oppression°
and revolt,°
conceiving°°
and uttering°°
from the heart°°
words°
of falsehood.° |
|
59:14
And we have turned judgment back, and righteousness has departed afar off: for truth is consumed in their ways, and they could not pass by a straight [path]. |
|
59:14
And judgment°
is turned away°°
backward,°
and justice°
standeth°°
afar off:°°
for°
truth°
is fallen°°
in the street,°
and equity°
cannot°°°
enter.°° |
|
59:15
And truth has been taken away, and they have turned aside [their] mind from understanding. And the Lord saw it, and it pleased him not that there was no judgment. |
|
59:15
Yea, truth°
faileth;°°°
and he [that] departeth°°
from evil°°
maketh himself a prey:°°
and Yahweh°
saw°°
[it], and it displeased°°°°
him that°
[there was] no°
judgment.° |
|
59:16 ¶
And he looked, and there was no man, and he observed, and there was none to help: so he defended them with his arm, and stablished [them] with [his] mercy. |
|
59:16 ¶
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. |
|
59:17
And he put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and placed the helmet of salvation on his head; and he clothed himself with the garment of vengeance, and with his cloak, |
|
59:17
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.° |
|
59:18
as one about to render a recompence, [even] reproach to his adversaries. |
|
59:18
According°
to°
[their] deeds,°
accordingly°
he will repay,°°
fury°
to his adversaries,°
recompence°
to his enemies;°°
to the islands°
he will repay°°
recompence.° |
|
59:19
So shall they of the west fear the name of the Lord, and they [that come] from the rising of the sun his glorious name: for the wrath of the Lord shall come as a mighty river, it shall come with fury. |
|
59:19
So shall they fear°°°
the name°
of Yahweh°
from the west,°°
and°
his glory°
from the rising°°
of the sun.°
When°
the enemy°
shall come in°°
like a flood,°
the Spirit°
of Yahweh°
shall lift up a standard°°
against him. |
|
59:20 ¶
And the deliverer shall come for Zion's{gr.Sion} sake, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. |
|
59:20 ¶
And the Redeemer°°
shall come°°
to Zion,°
and unto them that turn°°
from°
transgression°
in Jacob,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
59:21
And this shall be my covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon thee, and the words which I have put in thy mouth, shall never fail from thy mouth, nor from the mouth of thy seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and for ever. |
|
59:21
As for me,°
this°
[is] my covenant°
with°
them, saith°°
Yahweh;°
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°°
Yahweh,°
from henceforth°°
and for°
ever.°° |
