Isaiah 59

KJV

1  Behold,2005 the LORD's3068 hand3027 is not3808 shortened,7114 that it cannot save;4480 3467 neither3808 his ear241 heavy,3513 that it cannot hear:4480 8085

2  But3588 518 your iniquities5771 have1961 separated914 between996 you and your God,430 and your sins2403 have hid5641 his face6440 from4480 you, that he will not hear.4480 8085

3  For3588 your hands3709 are defiled1351 with blood,1818 and your fingers676 with iniquity;5771 your lips8193 have spoken1696 lies,8267 your tongue3956 hath muttered1897 perverseness.5766

4  None369 calleth7121 for justice,6664 nor369 any pleadeth8199 for truth:530 they trust982 in5921 vanity,8414 and speak1696 lies;7723 they conceive2029 mischief,5999 and bring forth3205 iniquity.205

5  They hatch1234 cockatrice'6848 eggs,1000 and weave707 the spider's5908 web:6980 he that eateth398 of their eggs4480 1000 dieth,4191 and that which is crushed2116 breaketh out1234 into a viper.660

6  Their webs6980 shall not3808 become1961 garments,899 neither3808 shall they cover themselves3680 with their works:4639 their works4639 are works4639 of iniquity,205 and the act6467 of violence2555 is in their hands.3709

7  Their feet7272 run7323 to evil,7451 and they make haste4116 to shed8210 innocent5355 blood:1818 their thoughts4284 are thoughts4284 of iniquity;205 wasting7701 and destruction7667 are in their paths.4546

8  The way1870 of peace7965 they know3045 not;3808 and there is no369 judgment4941 in their goings:4570 they have made them crooked6140 paths:5410 whosoever3605 goeth1869 therein shall not3808 know3045 peace.7965

9  Therefore5921 3651 is judgment far7368 4941 from4480 us, neither3808 doth justice6666 overtake5381 us: we wait6960 for light,216 but behold2009 obscurity;2822 for brightness,5054 but we walk1980 in darkness.653

10  We grope1659 for the wall7023 like the blind,5787 and we grope1659 as if we had no369 eyes:5869 we stumble3782 at noonday6672 as in the night;5399 we are in desolate places820 as dead4191 men.

11  We roar1993 all3605 like bears,1677 and mourn1897 1897 sore like doves:3123 we look6960 for judgment,4941 but there is none;369 for salvation,3444 but it is far off7368 from4480 us.

12  For3588 our transgressions6588 are multiplied7231 before5048 thee, and our sins2403 testify6030 against us: for3588 our transgressions6588 are with854 us; and as for our iniquities,5771 we know3045 them;

13  In transgressing6586 and lying3584 against the LORD,3068 and departing away5253 from4480 310 our God,430 speaking1696 oppression6233 and revolt,5627 conceiving2029 and uttering1897 from the heart4480 3820 words1697 of falsehood.8267

14  And judgment4941 is turned away5253 backward,268 and justice6666 standeth5975 afar off:4480 7350 for3588 truth571 is fallen3782 in the street,7339 and equity5229 cannot3201 3808 enter.935

15  Yea, truth571 faileth;1961 5737 and he that departeth5493 from evil4480 7451 maketh himself a prey:7997 and the LORD3068 saw7200 it, and it displeased7489 5869 him that3588 there was no369 judgment.4941

16  And he saw7200 that3588 there was no369 man,376 and wondered8074 that3588 there was no369 intercessor:6293 therefore his arm2220 brought salvation3467 unto him; and his righteousness,6666 it1931 sustained5564 him.

17  For he put on3847 righteousness6666 as a breastplate,8302 and a helmet3553 of salvation3444 upon his head;7218 and he put on3847 the garments899 of vengeance5359 for clothing,8516 and was clad5844 with zeal7068 as a cloak.4598

18  According5921 to their deeds,1578 accordingly5921 he will repay,7999 fury2534 to his adversaries,6862 recompense1576 to his enemies;341 to the islands339 he will repay7999 recompense.1576

19  So shall they fear3372 853 the name8034 of the LORD3068 from the west,4480 4628 and 853 his glory3519 from the rising4480 4217 of the sun.8121 When3588 the enemy6862 shall come in935 like a flood,5104 the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 shall lift up a standard5127 against him.

20  And the Redeemer1350 shall come935 to Zion,6726 and unto them that turn from7725 transgression6588 in Jacob,3290 saith5002 the LORD.3068

21  As for me,589 this2063 is my covenant1285 with854 them, saith559 the LORD;3068 My spirit7307 that834 is upon5921 thee, and my words1697 which834 I have put7760 in thy mouth,6310 shall not3808 depart4185 out of thy mouth,4480 6310 nor out of the mouth4480 6310 of thy seed,2233 nor out of the mouth4480 6310 of thy seed's2233 seed,2233 saith559 the LORD,3068 from henceforth4480 6258 and forever.5704 5769

1 μὴ οὐκ ἰσχύει ἡ χεὶρ κυρίου τοῦ σῶσαι ἢ ἐβάρυνεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ εἰσακοῦσαι

2 ἀλλὰ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα ὑμῶν διιστῶσιν ἀνὰ μέσον ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν τοῦ μὴ ἐλεῆσαι

3 αἱ γὰρ χεῖρες ὑμῶν μεμολυμμέναι αἵματι καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι ὑμῶν ἐν ἁμαρτίαις τὰ δὲ χείλη ὑμῶν ἐλάλησεν ἀνομίαν καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα ὑμῶν ἀδικίαν μελετᾷ

4 οὐδεὶς λαλεῖ δίκαια οὐδὲ ἔστιν κρίσις ἀληθινή πεποίθασιν ἐπὶ ματαίοις καὶ λαλοῦσιν κενά ὅτι κύουσιν πόνον καὶ τίκτουσιν ἀνομίαν

5 ᾠὰ ἀσπίδων ἔρρηξαν καὶ ἱστὸν ἀράχνης ὑφαίνουσιν καὶ ὁ μέλλων τῶν ᾠῶν αὐτῶν φαγεῖν συντρίψας οὔριον εὗρεν καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ βασιλίσκος

6 ὁ ἱστὸς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔσται εἰς ἱμάτιον οὐδὲ μὴ περιβάλωνται ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν τὰ γὰρ ἔργα αὐτῶν ἔργα ἀνομίας

7 οἱ δὲ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐπὶ πονηρίαν τρέχουσιν ταχινοὶ ἐκχέαι αἷμα καὶ οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν διαλογισμοὶ ἀφρόνων σύντριμμα καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν

8 καὶ ὁδὸν εἰρήνης οὐκ οἴδασιν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν κρίσις ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν αἱ γὰρ τρίβοι αὐτῶν διεστραμμέναι ἃς διοδεύουσιν καὶ οὐκ οἴδασιν εἰρήνην

9 διὰ τοῦτο ἀπέστη ἡ κρίσις ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃ αὐτοὺς δικαιοσύνη ὑπομεινάντων αὐτῶν φῶς ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς σκότος μείναντες αὐγὴν ἐν ἀωρίᾳ περιεπάτησαν

10 ψηλαφήσουσιν ὡς τυφλοὶ τοῖχον καὶ ὡς οὐχ ὑπαρχόντων ὀφθαλμῶν ψηλαφήσουσιν καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ ὡς ἐν μεσονυκτίῳ ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες στενάξουσιν

11 ὡς ἄρκος καὶ ὡς περιστερὰ ἅμα πορεύσονται ἀνεμείναμεν κρίσιν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν σωτηρία μακρὰν ἀφέστηκεν ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν

12 πολλὴ γὰρ ἡμῶν ἡ ἀνομία ἐναντίον σου καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἡμῶν ἀντέστησαν ἡμῖν αἱ γὰρ ἀνομίαι ἡμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ τὰ ἀδικήματα ἡμῶν ἔγνωμεν

13 ἠσεβήσαμεν καὶ ἐψευσάμεθα καὶ ἀπέστημεν ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐλαλήσαμεν ἄδικα καὶ ἠπειθήσαμεν ἐκύομεν καὶ ἐμελετήσαμεν ἀπὸ καρδίας ἡμῶν λόγους ἀδίκους

14 καὶ ἀπεστήσαμεν ὀπίσω τὴν κρίσιν καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη μακρὰν ἀφέστηκεν ὅτι καταναλώθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν ἡ ἀλήθεια καὶ δι᾽ εὐθείας οὐκ ἠδύναντο διελθεῖν

15 καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἦρται καὶ μετέστησαν τὴν διάνοιαν τοῦ συνιέναι καὶ εἶδεν κύριος καὶ οὐκ ἤρεσεν αὐτῷ ὅτι οὐκ ἦν κρίσις

16 καὶ εἶδεν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀνήρ καὶ κατενόησεν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντιλημψόμενος καὶ ἠμύνατο αὐτοὺς τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ ἐλεημοσύνῃ ἐστηρίσατο

17 καὶ ἐνεδύσατο δικαιοσύνην ὡς θώρακα καὶ περιέθετο περικεφαλαίαν σωτηρίου ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς καὶ περιεβάλετο ἱμάτιον ἐκδικήσεως καὶ τὸ περιβόλαιον

18 ὡς ἀνταποδώσων ἀνταπόδοσιν ὄνειδος τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις

19 καὶ φοβηθήσονται οἱ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ οἱ ἀπ᾽ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἔνδοξον ἥξει γὰρ ὡς ποταμὸς βίαιος ἡ ὀργὴ παρὰ κυρίου ἥξει μετὰ θυμοῦ

20 καὶ ἥξει ἕνεκεν Σιων ὁ ῥυόμενος καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀσεβείας ἀπὸ Ιακωβ

21 καὶ αὕτη αὐτοῖς ἡ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ διαθήκη εἶπεν κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἐμόν ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ σοί καὶ τὰ ῥήματα ἃ ἔδωκα εἰς τὸ στόμα σου οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ σπέρματός σου εἶπεν γὰρ κύριος ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

Vul

1 [Ecce non est abbreviata manus Domini, ut salvare nequeat,
neque aggravata est auris ejus, ut non exaudiat.

2 Sed iniquitates vestræ diviserunt
inter vos et Deum vestrum;
et peccata vestra absconderunt faciem ejus a vobis,
ne exaudiret.

3 Manus enim vestræ pollutæ sunt sanguine,
et digiti vestri iniquitate;
labia vestra locuta sunt mendacium,
et lingua vestra iniquitatem fatur.

4 Non est qui invocet justitiam,
neque est qui judicet vere:
sed confidunt in nihilo, et loquuntur vanitates;
conceperunt laborem, et pepererunt iniquitatem.

5 Ova aspidum ruperunt,
et telas araneæ texuerunt.
Qui comederit de ovis eorum, morietur;
et quod confotum est, erumpet in regulum.

6 Telæ eorum non erunt in vestimentum,
neque operientur operibus suis;
opera eorum opera inutilia,
et opus iniquitatis in manibus eorum.

7 Pedes eorum ad malum currunt,
et festinant ut effundant sanguinem innocentem;
cogitationes eorum cogitationes inutiles:
vastitas et contritio in viis eorum.

8 Viam pacis nescierunt,
et non est judicium in gressibus eorum;
semitæ eorum incurvatæ sunt eis:
omnis qui calcat in eis, ignorat pacem.

9 Propter hoc elongatum est judicium a nobis,
et non apprehendet nos justitia.
Exspectavimus lucem, et ecce tenebræ;
splendorem, et in tenebris ambulavimus.

10 Palpavimus sicut cæci parietem,
et quasi absque oculis attrectavimus:
impegimus meridie quasi in tenebris;
in caliginosis quasi mortui.

11 Rugiemus quasi ursi omnes,
et quasi columbæ meditantes gememus:
exspectavimus judicium, et non est;
salutem, et elongata est a nobis.

12 Multiplicatæ sunt enim iniquitates nostræ coram te,
et peccata nostra responderunt nobis,
quia scelera nostra nobiscum
et iniquitates nostras cognovimus.

13 Peccare et mentiri contra Dominum,
et aversi sumus ne iremus post tergum Dei nostri,
ut loqueremur calumniam et transgressionem;
concepimus et locuti sumus de corde verba mendacii.

14 Et conversum est retrorsum judicium,
et justitia longe stetit,
quia corruit in platea veritas,
et æquitas non potuit ingredi.

15 Et facta est veritas in oblivionem,
et qui recessit a malo, prædæ patuit.
Et vidit Dominus, et malum apparuit in oculis ejus,
quia non est judicium.

16 Et vidit quia non est vir,
et aporiatus est, quia non est qui occurrat;
et salvavit sibi brachium suum,
et justitia ejus ipsa confirmavit eum.

17 Indutus est justitia ut lorica,
et galea salutis in capite ejus;
indutus est vestimentis ultionis,
et opertus est quasi pallio zeli:

18 sicut ad vindictam quasi ad retributionem
indignationis hostibus suis,
et vicissitudinem inimicis suis;
insulis vicem reddet.

19 Et timebunt qui ab occidente nomen Domini,
et qui ab ortu solis gloriam ejus,
cum venerit quasi fluvius violentus
quem spiritus Domini cogit;

20 et venerit Sion redemptor,
et eis qui redeunt ab iniquitate in Jacob,
dicit Dominus.

21 Hoc fœdus meum cum eis,
dicit Dominus:
spiritus meus qui est in te,
et verba mea quæ posui in ore tuo,
non recedent de ore tuo,
et de ore seminis tui,
et de ore seminis seminis tui, dicit Dominus,
amodo et usque in sempiternum.]
