1. Behold, Adonai’s hand is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.
2. Rather, your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God. Your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.
3. For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
4. No one sues justly, and none pleads a case honestly. They trust in confusion and speak lies. They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5. They hatch adders’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web— whoever eats their eggs dies; crack one open, a viper breaks out.
