	Sin, Confession and Redemption...
1.	Look, the hand of YHWH has not become too short to save, nor His ear too heavy to hear.
2.	But your crookednesses have separated you from your Elohim. And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing.
3.	For your hands have been defiled with blood, and your fingers with crookedness; your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue mutters unrighteousness.
4.	No one calls for righteousness, and no one pleads for truth. They trust in emptiness and speak worthlessness; they conceive trouble and bring forth wickedness.
5.	They have hatched adders' eggs and they weave the spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs dies, and when one is broken an adder is hatched.
6.	Their webs do not become garments, nor do they cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of wickedness, and a deed of violence is in their hands.
7.	Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness, wasting and ruin are in their highways.
8.	The way of peace they have not known, and there is no right-ruling in their ways. They have made crooked paths for themselves, whoever treads in them shall not know peace.
9.	Therefore right-ruling has been far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in thick darkness!
10.	We feel for the wall like the blind, and we feel as without eyes. At noon we stumble as at twilight, in deserted places, like the dead.
11.	All of us growl like bears, and moan sadly like doves. We look for right-ruling, but there is none; for deliverance, but it is far from us.
12.	For our transgressions have increased before You, and our sins witnessed against us. For our transgressions are with us, and as for our crookednesses, we know them:
13.	transgressing, and being untrue to YHWH, and turning away from our Elohim, speaking oppression and apostasy, conceiving and pondering words of falsehood from the heart.
14.	And right-ruling is driven back, and righteousness stands far off. For truth has fallen in the street, and right is unable to enter.
15.	And the truth is lacking, and whoever turns away from evil makes himself a prey. And YHWH saw, and it displeased Him that there was no right-ruling.
16.	And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no intercessor. So His own arm saved for Him, and His righteousness upheld him.
17.	And He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of deliverance on His head. And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped Himself with ardour as a mantle.
18.	According to their deeds, so He repays, wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies. He repays recompense to the coastlands.
19.	And they shall fear the Name of YHWH from the west, and His esteem from the rising of the sun, when He comes like a distressing stream which the Spirit of YHWH drives on.
20.	'And the Redeemer shall come to Tsiyon, and to those turning from transgression in Ya'aqob,' declares YHWH.
21.	`As for Me, this is My covenant with them,` said YHWH: `My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words that I have put in your mouth, shall not be withdrawn from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants` descendants,` said YHWH, `from this time and forever.`
