NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 59

Separation from God

1

Beholdh2005,  athe LORD'Sh3068 handh3027 is not soh4480 shorth7114a That it cannoth4480 saveh3467;  bNorh3808 is His earh241 soh4480 dullh3513 That it cannoth4480 hearh8085.

2

But your  ainiquitiesh5771 have madeh914 a separationh914 betweenh996 you and your Godh430, And your sinsh2403b have hiddenh5641 His  1faceh6440 from you soh4480 that He does  bnot hearh8085.

3

For your  ahandsh3709 are defiledh1351 with bloodh1818 And your fingersh676 with iniquityh5771; Your lipsh8193 have spokenh1696  bfalsehoodh8267, Your tongueh3956 muttersh1897 wickednessh5767b.

4

 aNoh369 oneh369 suesh7121 righteouslyh6664 and  bnoh369 oneh369 pleadsh8199  1honestlyh530. They  ctrusth982 in confusionh8414 and speakh1696 liesh7723; They  dconceiveh2029 mischiefh5999 and bringh3205 forthh3205 iniquityh205.

5

They hatchh1234 adders'h6848b eggsh1000 and  aweaveh707 the spider'sh5908 webh6980; He who eatsh398 of their eggsh1000 diesh4191, And from that which is crushedh2115 a snakeh660 breaksh1234 forthh1234.

6

Their websh6980 will not becomeh1961 clothingh899b, Norh3808 will they  acoverh3680 themselves with their worksh4639; Their  bworksh4639 are worksh4639 of iniquityh205, And an  cacth6467 of violenceh2555 is in their  1handsh3709.

7

 aTheir feeth7272 runh7323 to evilh7451b, And they hastenh4116 to shedh8210 innocenth5355a bloodh1818;  bTheir thoughtsh4284 are thoughtsh4284 of iniquityh205, Devastationh7701 and destructionh7667 are in their highwaysh4546.

8

They do not knowh3045 the  awayh1870 of peaceh7965, And thereh369 is  bnoh369 justiceh4941 in their tracksh4570; They have madeh6140 their pathsh5410b crookedh6140,  cWhoeverh3605 treadsh1869 on  1them does not knowh3045 peaceh7965.

A Confession of Wickedness

9

Thereforeh5921h3651  ajusticeh4941 is farh7368 from us, And righteousnessh6666 does not overtakeh5381 us; We  bhopeh6960a for lighth216, but beholdh2009, darknessh2822, For brightnessh5054, but we walkh1980 in gloomh653.

10

We  agropeh1659 along the wallh7023 like blindh5787 menh5787, We gropeh1659 like those who haveh369 noh369 eyesh5869; We  bstumbleh3782 at middayh6672a as in the twilighth5399, Among those whoh820 are vigoroush820 we are  clike deadh4191 men.

11

Allh3605 of us growlh1993 like bearsh1677, And  amoanh1897 sadlyh1897 like dovesh3123; We hopeh6960a for  bjusticeh4941, but thereh369 is noneh369, For salvationh3444, but it is farh7368 from us.

12

For our  atransgressionsh6588 are multipliedh7231 beforeh5048 You, And our  bsinsh2403b  1testifyh6030a against us; For our transgressionsh6588 are with us, And  2we knowh3045 our iniquitiesh5771:

13

Transgressingh6586 and  adenyingh3584 the LORDh3068, And turningh5472 awayh5472 from our Godh430, Speakingh1696  boppressionh6233 and revolth5627, Conceivingh2029 in and  cutteringh1897 from the hearth3820 lyingh8267 wordsh1697.

14

 aJusticeh4941 is turnedh5472 backh268, And  brighteousnessh6666 standsh5975 farh7350 awayh4480; For truthh571 has stumbledh3782 in the streeth7339, And uprightnessh5228 cannoth3201h3808 enterh935.

15

Yes, truthh571 is lackingh5737c; And he who turnsh5493 asideh5493 from evilh7451b  amakesh7997b himself a preyh7997b. Now the LORDh3068 sawh7200, And it was  1displeasingh7489a in His sighth5869  bthat thereh369 was noh369 justiceh4941.

16

And He sawh7200 that thereh369 was  anoh369 manh376, And was astonishedh8074 that thereh369 was noh369 oneh369 to intercedeh6293; Then His  bown armh2220 broughth3467 salvationh3467 to Him, And His righteousnessh6666 upheldh5564 Him.

17

He puth3847 on  arighteousnessh6666 like a breastplateh8302, And a  bhelmeth3553 of salvationh3444 on His headh7218; And He puth3847 on  cgarmentsh899b of vengeanceh5359 for clothingh8516 And wrappedh5844a Himself with  dzealh7068 as a mantleh4598.

18

 aAccordingh5921 to their  1deedsh1578,  2soh5921 He will repayh7999a, Wrathh2534 to His adversariesh6862c, recompenseh1576 to His enemiesh340; To the coastlandsh339 He will  3makeh7999a recompenseh1576.

19

So they will fearh3372a the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 from the  awesth4628 And His gloryh3519b from the  brisingh4217 of the sunh8121, For He will  ccomeh935 like a  1rushingh6862a streamh5104 Which the windh7307 of the LORDh3068 drivesh5127.

20

"A  aRedeemerh1350 will comeh935 to Zionh6726, And to those who  bturnh7725 from transgressionh6588 in Jacobh3290," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

21

"As for Me, thish384 is My  acovenanth1285 with them," saysh559 the LORDh3068: "My  bSpirith7307 whichh834 is upon you, and My  cwordsh1697 whichh834 I have puth7760 in your mouthh6310 shall not departh4185 from your mouthh6310, norh3808 from the mouthh6310 of your  1offspringh2233, norh3808 from the mouthh6310 of your  1offspring'sh2233 offspringh2233," saysh559 the LORDh3068, "from nowh6258 and foreverh5704h5769."
