282 : Basic English : Isaiah 59,60; Galatians 6 ) 1. Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
2. But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
3. For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
4. No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
5. They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
