1 Look! The Lord does not lack the power to save,nor are his ears too dull to hear,
2 but your misdeeds have separated you from your God.Your sins have hidden his face from youso that you aren’t heard.
3 Your hands are stained with blood,and your fingers with guilt.Your lips speak lies;your tongues mutter malice.
4 No one sues honestly;no one pleads truthfully.By trusting in emptiness and speaking deceit,they conceive harm and give birth to malice.
