1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;
2 but your iniquities have made a separationbetween you and your God,and your sins have hidden his face from youso that he does not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with bloodand your fingers with iniquity;your lips have spoken lies;your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 No one enters suit justly;no one goes to law honestly;they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies, they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
