1Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save,
2But your iniquities have built barriers
3For your hands are stained with blood,
4No one calls for justice;
5They hatch the eggs of vipers
6Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing,
7Their feet run to evil;
8The way of peace they have not known,59:8 Cited in Romans 3:15–17
9Therefore justice is far from us,
10Like the blind, we feel our way along the wall,
11We all growl like bears
12For our transgressions are multiplied before You,
13rebelling and denying the LORD,
14So justice is turned away,
15Truth is missing,
16He saw that there was no man;
17He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
18So He will repay according to their deeds:
19So shall they fear the name of the LORD
20“The Redeemer will come to Zion,
21“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,”59:21 Cited in Romans 11:27 says the LORD. “My Spirit will not depart from you,59:21 Literally My Spirit, who is upon you, and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore,” says the LORD.
