Isaiah 59:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. The Lord hasn't losthis powerful strength;he can still hearand answer prayers.

2. Your sins are the roadblockbetween you and your God.That's why he doesn't answeryour prayersor let you see his face.

3. Your talk is filled with liesand plans for violence;every finger on your handsis covered with blood.

4. You falsely accuse othersand tell lies in court;sin and trouble are the namesof your children.

5. You eat the deadly eggsof poisonous snakes,and more snakes crawl outfrom the eggs left to hatch.You weave spider's webs,

6. but you can't make clotheswith those websor hide behind them.You're sinful and brutal.
