Isaiah 59:2 BBE

¹  Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:

²  But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.

³  For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.

⁴  No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
