Isaiah 59:1-5

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear.

But your wrongdoings have caused a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with wrongdoing; Your lips have spoken deceit, Your tongue mutters wickedness.

No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly. They trust in confusion and speak lies; They conceive trouble and give birth to disaster.

They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; The one who eats of their eggs dies, And from what is crushed, a snake breaks out.
