1 BEHOLD the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
4 There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.
5 They have broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
