Isaiah 59
Under each verse is the Hebrew source text word by word, from right to left: each prefix, stem and suffix with its transliteration, English gloss, Extended Strong's number and morphology code. Source text: STEPBible's TAHOT (CC BY 4.0)
Tap a word to mark it throughout the chapter; a morphology code explains itself the same way (in English).
- 1Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
- 2But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
- 3For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.

- 13We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.

- 15Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
- 16And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
- 17Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
