Look, the LORD's hand is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
It is your sins that have made a separation between you and your God; your wrongdoing has hidden his face from you, so that he does not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with guilt; your lips speak lies, your tongue mutters injustice.
No one calls for justice; no one pleads a case honestly. They trust in emptiness and speak worthless words; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
They hatch the eggs of vipers and weave the spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs dies, and when one is crushed, a viper breaks out.
Their webs will make no clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are deeds of evil, and acts of violence fill their hands.
Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness; ruin and destruction mark their roads.
The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their paths. They have made their roads crooked; no one who walks in them knows peace.
So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
We grope along the wall like the blind, we grope like those without eyes. We stumble at noon as if it were twilight; among the strong we are like the dead.
We all growl like bears and moan mournfully like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it stays far from us.
For our rebellions against you are many, and our sins testify against us. Our rebellions are with us, and we know our iniquities:
rebelling against the LORD and denying him, turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving lies in the heart and uttering them.
So justice is driven back and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever turns from evil is plundered. The LORD saw it, and it was evil in his eyes that there was no justice.
He saw that there was no one, and he was appalled that no one intervened. So his own arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness sustained him.
He put on righteousness as armor and the helmet of salvation on his head; he clothed himself in the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as a cloak.
According to their deeds he will repay: wrath to his adversaries, retribution to his enemies; to the coastlands he will render what is due.
for he will come like a pent-up river, driven by the breath of the LORD.[^1] [^1]: Or "when the adversary comes like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will drive him back." The Hebrew word can mean either "narrow, pent-up" or "adversary."
"A Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from rebellion," declares the LORD.
"And as for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD: "My Spirit, who is upon you, and my words, which I have put in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouths of your children, nor from the mouths of their descendants, from now on and forever," says the LORD.
