## Isaiah 59:3-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/1) Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
 
 [2 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/2) But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid *his* face from you, that he will not hear.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/3) For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/4) None calleth for justice, nor *any* pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/5) They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.**
 
 [6 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/6) Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works *are* works of iniquity, and the act of violence *is* in their hands.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/7) Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts *are* thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction *are* in their paths.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/8) The way of peace they know not; and *there is* no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.*
 
[Isaiah 58](/kjv/isaiah/58) [Isaiah 60](/kjv/isaiah/60)
