59:1 [hgb]  耶 和 华 的 膀 臂 ， 并 非 缩 短 不 能 拯 救 。 耳 朵 ， 并 非 发 沉 不 能 听 见 。
    [kjv]  Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
    [bbe]  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:
59:2 [hgb]  但 你 们 的 罪 孽 使 你 们 与 神 隔 绝 ， 你 们 的 罪 恶 使 他 掩 面 不 听 你 们 。
    [kjv]  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
    [bbe]  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.
59:3 [hgb]  因 你 们 的 手 被 血 沾 染 ， 你 们 的 指 头 被 罪 孽 沾 污 。 你 们 的 嘴 唇 说 谎 言 ， 你 们 的 舌 头 出 恶 语 。
    [kjv]  For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
    [bbe]  For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
59:4 [hgb]  无 一 人 按 公 义 告 状 ， 无 一 人 凭 诚 实 辨 白 。 都 倚 靠 虚 妄 ， 说 谎 言 。 所 怀 的 是 毒 害 ， 所 生 的 是 罪 孽 。
    [kjv]  None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
    [bbe]  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.
59:5 [hgb]  他 们 抱 毒 蛇 蛋 ， 结 蜘 蛛 网 。 人 吃 这 蛋 必 死 。 这 蛋 被 踏 ， 必 出 蝮 蛇 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
59:6 [hgb]  所 结 的 网 ， 不 能 成 为 衣 服 ， 所 作 的 ， 也 不 能 遮 盖 自 己 。 他 们 的 行 为 都 是 罪 孽 ， 手 所 作 的 都 是 强 暴 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
59:7 [hgb]  他 们 的 脚 奔 跑 行 恶 ， 他 们 急 速 流 无 辜 人 的 血 。 意 念 都 是 罪 孽 。 所 经 过 的 路 都 荒 凉 毁 灭 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
59:8 [hgb]  平 安 的 路 ， 他 们 不 知 道 。 所 行 的 事 没 有 公 平 。 他 们 为 自 己 修 弯 曲 的 路 。 凡 行 此 路 的 ， 都 不 知 道 平 安 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
59:9 [hgb]  因 此 公 平 离 我 们 远 ， 公 义 追 不 上 我 们 。 我 们 指 望 光 亮 ， 却 是 黑 暗 。 指 望 光 明 ， 却 行 幽 暗 。
    [kjv]  Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
    [bbe]  For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
59:10 [hgb]  我 们 摸 索 墙 壁 ， 好 像 瞎 子 。 我 们 摸 索 如 同 无 目 之 人 。 我 们 晌 午 绊 脚 ， 如 在 黄 昏 一 样 。 我 们 在 肥 壮 人 中 ， 像 死 人 一 般 。
    [kjv]  We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
    [bbe]  We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
59:11 [hgb]  我 们 咆 哮 如 熊 ， 哀 鸣 如 鸽 。 指 望 公 平 ， 却 是 没 有 。 指 望 救 恩 ， 却 远 离 我 们 。
    [kjv]  We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
    [bbe]  We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking............
