1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save;nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you and your God,and your sins have hidden his face from you,so that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood,and your fingers with iniquity.Your lips have spoken lies.Your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 No one sues in righteousness,and no one pleads in truth.They trust in vanity,and speak lies.They conceive mischief,and give birth to iniquity.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs,and weave the spider’s web.He who eats of their eggs dies;and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
6 Their webs won’t become garments.They won’t cover themselves with their works.Their works are works of iniquity,and acts of violence are in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil,and they hurry to shed innocent blood.Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity.desolation and destruction are in their paths.
