1. Certainly, the hand of the Lord is not so short that it cannot save,nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.
2. But your iniquities have made a separation betweenyou and your God,and your sins have hidden His face from youso that He will not hear.
3. For your hands are defiled with bloodand your fingers with iniquity;your lips have spoken lies,your tongue has muttered perverseness.
