Isa 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.

 
Isa 59:3        For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

 
Isa 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.

 
Isa 59:10- We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if [we had] no eyes:
we stumble at noonday as in the night; [we are] in desolate places as dead [men].


Isa 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.

Isa 51:20-  Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net:
they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
