²⁸ Then they will call me, but I won’t answer;
they will search for me, but won’t find me.^(A)

59 Indeed, the Lord’s hand is not too short to save,^(A)
and His ear is not too deaf to hear.
² But your iniquities^(B) have built barriers
between you and your God,
and your sins have made Him hide His face from you^(C)
so that He does not listen.^(D)
3 For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers, with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
and your tongues mutter injustice.

⁴ Then they will cry out^(A) to the Lord,
but He will not answer them.
He will hide His face from them at that time^(B)
because of the crimes they have committed.
