neither is his ear dull that it cannot hear;<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/isaiah/59-2.htm#aramaic"><b>2</b></a></span>But it is your iniquities that have separated you and your God; and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/isaiah/59-3.htm#aramaic"><b>3</b></a></span>For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/isaiah/59-4.htm#aramaic"><b>4</b></a></span>There is no one who calls for justice, neither is there any one who judges faithfully; they trust in vanity and speak lies; they conceive iniquity and bring forth grief.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/isaiah/59-5.htm#aramaic"><b>5</b></a></span>They hatch adder's eggs, and weave a spider's web;
