23:059:002 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not
hear.
23:059:003 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with
iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered perverseness.
23:059:004 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they
trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and
bring forth iniquity.
23:059:005 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he
that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed
breaketh out into a viper.
23:059:006 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover
themselves with their works: their works are works of
iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
23:059:007 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent
blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and
destruction are in their paths.
23:059:008 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in
their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever
goeth therein shall not know peace.
23:059:009 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice
overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for
brightness, but we walk in darkness.
23:059:010 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we
had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in
desolate places as dead men.
23:059:011 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for
judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off
from us.
