SIN AND REDEMPTION

59Indeed, the Lord’s arm is not too weak to save,v

and his ear is not too deaf to hear.

2But your iniquitiesw are separating you

from your God,

and your sins have hidden his face from youx

so that he does not listen.y

3For your hands are defiled with blood

and your fingers, with iniquity;

your lips have spoken lies,

and your tongues mutter injustice.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,

or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;

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.

For your hands are defiled with blood

and your fingers with iniquity;

your lips have spoken lies;

your tongue mutters wickedness.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save,

nor his ear too dull to hear.

But your iniquities have separated

you from your God;

your sins have hidden his face from you,

so that he will not hear.

For your hands are stained with blood,

your fingers with guilt.

Your lips have spoken falsely,

and your tongue mutters wicked things.

NLTNew Living Translation

Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you,

nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.

It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.

Because of your sins, he has turned away

and will not listen anymore.

Your hands are the hands of murderers,

and your fingers are filthy with sin.

Your lips are full of lies,

and your mouth spews corruption.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Look! The hand of Yahweh is not too short to save,

and his ear is not too dull to hear.

Rather, your iniquities have been barriers between you and your God,

and your sins have hidden his face from you, from hearing.

For your hands are defiled with blood,

and your fingers with iniquity.

Your lips have spoken lies,

your tongue speaks wickedness.

KJV 1900King James Version

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;

Neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,

And your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood,

And your fingers with iniquity;

Your lips have spoken lies,

Your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
