Separation from Yahweh

1Behold, athe hand of Yahweh is not so short

That it cannot save;

bNor is His ear so 1dull

That it cannot hear.

2But your ainiquities have made a separation between you and your God,

And your sins have hidden His 1face from you so that He does bnot hear.

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.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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

and his ear is not too deaf to hear.

But your iniquities are separating you

from your God,

and your sins have hidden his face from you

so that he does not listen.

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.

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.

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.
