Isaiah 59:1-8

God Is Able, But Sin Separates

Isaiah 59:1-8
1
ADONAI's arm is not too short to save, nor is his ear too dull to hear.
2
Rather, it is your own crimes that separate you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he doesn't hear.
3
For your hands are stained with blood and your fingers with crime; your lips speak lies, your tongues utter wicked things.
4
No one sues with just cause, no one pleads honestly in court, they trust in empty words and say worthless things; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
5
They hatch viper eggs and spin spiderwebs; whoever eats their eggs dies, and the crushed egg hatches a snake.
6
Their webs are useless as clothing, their deeds are useless for wearing; their deeds are deeds of wickedness, their hands produce violence.
7
Their feet run to evil, they rush to shed innocent blood, their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness, their paths lead to havoc and ruin.
8
The way of shalom they do not know, their goings-about obey no law, they make devious paths for themselves; no one treading them will ever know shalom.
