Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Isaiah 59

1 The damnable nature of sin. 3 The sins of the Jews. 9 Calamity is for sin. 16 Salvation is only of God. 20 The Covenant of the Redeemer.

 59:1 ¶ Behold, 2005 the LORD'S 3068 hand 3027 is not x3808 shortened, 7114 z8804 that it cannot save; 3467 z8687 x4480 neither x3808 his ear 241 heavy, 3513 z8804 that it cannot hear: 8085 z8800 x4480

 59:2 But x3588 x518 your iniquities 5771 have x1961 separated 914 z8688 between 996 you and your God, 430 and your sins 2403 have hid 5641 z8689 [his] face 6440 from x4480 you, that he will not hear. 8085 z8800 x4480

 59:3 For x3588 your hands 3709 are defiled 1351 z8738 with blood, 1818 and your fingers 676 with iniquity; 5771 your lips 8193 have spoken 1696 z8765 lies, 8267 your tongue 3956 hath muttered 1897 z8799 perverseness. 5766

 59:4 None x369 calleth 7121 z8802 for justice, 6664 nor x369 [any] pleadeth 8199 z8737 for truth: 530 they trust 982 z8800 in x5921 vanity, 8414 and speak 1696 z8763 lies; 7723 they conceive 2029 z8800 mischief, 5999 and bring forth 3205 z8687 iniquity. 205

 59:5 They hatch 1234 z8765 cockatrice' 6848 eggs, 1000 and weave 707 z8799 the spider's 5908 web: 6980 he that eateth 398 z8802 of their eggs 1000 x4480 dieth, 4191 z8799 and that which is crushed 2116 breaketh out 1234 z8735 into a viper. 660

 59:6 Their webs 6980 shall not x3808 become x1961 garments, 899 neither x3808 shall they cover y3680 z8691 themselves x3680 with their works: 4639 their works 4639 [are] works 4639 of iniquity, 205 and the act 6467 of violence 2555 [is] in their hands. 3709

 59:7 Their feet 7272 run 7323 z8799 to evil, 7451 and they make haste 4116 z8762 to shed 8210 z8800 innocent 5355 blood: 1818 their thoughts 4284 [are] thoughts 4284 of iniquity; 205 wasting 7701 and destruction 7667 [are] in their paths. 4546

 59:8 The way 1870 of peace 7965 they know 3045 z8804 not; x3808 and [there is] no x369 judgment 4941 in their goings: 4570 they have made them crooked 6140 z8765 paths: 5410 whosoever x3605 goeth 1869 z8802 therein shall not x3808 know 3045 z8804 peace. 7965

 59:9 ¶ Therefore x5921 x3651 is judgment y4941 far 7368 z8804 x4941 from x4480 us, neither x3808 doth justice 6666 overtake 5381 z8686 us: we wait 6960 z8762 for light, 216 but behold x2009 obscurity; 2822 for brightness, 5054 [but] we walk 1980 z8762 in darkness. 653

 59:10 We grope 1659 z8762 for the wall 7023 like the blind, 5787 and we grope 1659 z8762 as if [we had] no x369 eyes: 5869 we stumble 3782 z8804 at noonday 6672 as in the night; 5399 [we are] in desolate y820 places x820 as dead 4191 z8801 [men].

 59:11 We roar 1993 z8799 all x3605 like bears, 1677 and mourn 1897 z8799 sore y1897 z8800 like doves: 3123 we look 6960 z8762 for judgment, 4941 but [there is] none; x369 for salvation, 3444 [but] it is far off 7368 z8804 from x4480 us.

 59:12 For x3588 our transgressions 6588 are multiplied 7231 z8804 before x5048 thee, and our sins 2403 testify 6030 z8804 against us: for x3588 our transgressions 6588 [are] with x854 us; and [as for] our iniquities, 5771 we know 3045 z8804 them;

 59:13 In transgressing 6586 z8800 and lying 3584 z8763 against the LORD, 3068 and departing away 5253 z8800 from 310 x4480 our God, 430 speaking 1696 z8763 oppression 6233 and revolt, 5627 conceiving 2029 z8780 and uttering 1897 z8774 from the heart 3820 x4480 words 1697 of falsehood. 8267

 59:14 And judgment 4941 is turned away 5253 z8717 backward, 268 and justice 6666 standeth 5975 z8799 afar off: 7350 x4480 for x3588 truth 571 is fallen 3782 z8804 in the street, 7339 and equity 5229 cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 enter. 935 z8800

 59:15 Yea, truth 571 faileth; 5737 z8737 x1961 and he [that] departeth 5493 z8804 from evil 7451 x4480 maketh himself a prey: 7997 z8711 and the LORD 3068 saw 7200 z8799 [it], and it displeased 5869 y3415 z8799 x7489 him that x3588 [there was] no x369 judgment. 4941

 59:16 ¶ And he saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 [there was] no x369 man, 376 and wondered 8074 z8709 that x3588 [there was] no x369 intercessor: 6293 z8688 therefore his arm 2220 brought salvation 3467 z8686 unto him; and his righteousness, 6666 it x1931 sustained 5564 z8804 him.

 59:17 For he put on 3847 z8799 righteousness 6666 as a breastplate, 8302 and an helmet 3553 of salvation 3444 upon his head; 7218 and he put on 3847 z8799 the garments 899 of vengeance 5359 [for] clothing, 8516 and was clad 5844 z8799 with zeal 7068 as a cloke. 4598

 59:18 According x5921 to y5921 [their] deeds, 1578 accordingly x5921 he will repay, 7999 z8762 fury 2534 to his adversaries, 6862 recompence 1576 to his enemies; 341 z8802 to the islands 339 he will repay 7999 z8762 recompence. 1576

 59:19 So shall they fear 3372 z8799 x853 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 from the west, 4628 x4480 and x853 his glory 3519 from the rising 4217 x4480 of the sun. 8121 When x3588 the enemy 6862 shall come in 935 z8799 like a flood, 5104 the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 shall lift up a standard 5127 z8790 against him.

 59:20 ¶ And the Redeemer 1350 z8802 shall come 935 z8804 to Zion, 6726 and unto them that turn y7725 z8802 from x7725 transgression 6588 in Jacob, 3290 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 59:21 As for me, x589 this x2063 [is] my covenant 1285 with x854 them, saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 My spirit 7307 that x834 [is] upon x5921 thee, and my words 1697 which x834 I have put 7760 z8804 in thy mouth, 6310 shall not x3808 depart 4185 z8799 out of thy mouth, 6310 x4480 nor out of the mouth 6310 x4480 of thy seed, 2233 nor out of the mouth 6310 x4480 of thy seed's 2233 seed, 2233 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 from henceforth x4480 x6258 and for y5704 ever. 5769 x5704
