Isaiah 59
nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
so that he will not hear.
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
and give birth to iniquity.
and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
and acts of violence are in their hands.
Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.
for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
Among those who are strong, we are like dead men.
for salvation, but it is far off from us.
and as for our iniquities, we know them:
conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
and uprightness can’t enter.
and it displeased him that there was no justice.
and his righteousness sustained him.
and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
he will repay the islands their due.
which Yahweh’s breath drives.
and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh.
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”
