Isaiah 59:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 But your (A)iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His [a]face from you so that He does (B)not hear.
3 For your (C)hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken a (D)lie;
Your tongue mutters unrighteousness.
4 (E)No one calls in righteousness, and (F)no one seeks justice in truth.
They (G)trust in [b]confusion and speak worthlessness;
They (H)conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness.

Isaiah 59:2-4
King James Version
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, 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 hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will (A)not hear.

2 (A)but your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
so that he does not hear.
3 (B)For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers with iniquity;

no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
(D)they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
