²⁸ Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;
they will search for me, but won’t find me.^(A)

59 Indeed, the Lord’s arm is not too weak to save,^(A)
and his ear is not too deaf to hear.
² But your iniquities^(B) are separating you
from your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you^(C)
so that he does not listen.^(D)
3 For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers, with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
and your tongues mutter injustice.

⁴ Then they will cry out^(A) to the Lord,
but he will not answer them.
He will hide his face from them at that time^(B)
because of the crimes they have committed.
