The Prophet Condemns the People's Sins (ISA 59:1-8)

[59:1] Don't think that the Lord is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help!

[59:2] It is because of your sins that he doesn't hear you. It is your sins that separate you from God when you try to worship him.

[59:3] You are guilty of lying, violence, and murder.

[59:4] You go to court, but you do not have justice on your side. You depend on lies to win your case. You carry out your plans to hurt others.

[59:7] You are always planning something evil, and you can hardly wait to do it. You never hesitate to murder innocent people. You leave ruin and destruction wherever you go,

[59:8] and no one is safe when you are around. Everything you do is unjust. You follow a crooked path, and no one who walks that path will ever be safe.
