1. Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing.
2. But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you--from hearing.
3. For your hands have been polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your tongue perverseness doth mutter.
4. There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.
