- 1Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear;
- 2but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [supplied: his] face from you, that he doth not hear.
- 3For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak lies, your tongue muttereth unrighteousness:
