1. Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save,nor his ear too dull to hear.
2. But your iniquities have separatedyou from your God;your sins have hidden his face from you,so that he will not hear.
3. For your hands are stained with blood,your fingers with guilt.Your lips have spoken falsely,and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4. No one calls for justice;no one pleads a case with integrity.They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies;they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
