Isaiah 59:2

← Isaiah 59:1	Isaiah 59:2 (KJV)	Isaiah 59:3 →
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:	But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.	For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
