But your iniquities have separated you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Isaiah 59:2 in context
Isaiah 59:1–5
1
Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save;
nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear.
2
Selected verse
But your iniquities have separated you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will 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 in righteousness,
and no one pleads in truth.
They trust in vanity
and speak lies.
They conceive mischief
and give birth to iniquity.
5
They hatch adders’ eggs
and weave the spider’s web.
He who eats of their eggs dies;
and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
