Through My Bible Yr 2 – January 23
Bible reading based on Isaiah 59 (NIV84) 1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, 2 But your iniquities have separated 3 For your hands are stained with blood, 4 No one calls for justice;
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers 6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; 7 Their feet rush into sin; 8 The way of peace they do not know; 9 So justice is far from us,
10 Like the blind we grope along the wall, 11 We all growl like bears; 12 For our offenses are many in your sight, 13 rebellion and treachery against the LORD, 14 So justice is driven back, 15 Truth is nowhere to be found, 16 He saw that there was no one, 17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate, 18 According to what they have done, 19 From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD, 20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion, 21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever,” says the LORD.

Sin, Confession and Redemption
nor his ear too dull to hear.
you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.
your fingers with guilt.
Your lips have spoken lies,
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
no one pleads his case with integrity.
They rely on empty arguments and speak lies;
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
and spin a spider’s web.
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence are in their hands.
they are swift to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are evil thoughts;
ruin and destruction mark their ways.
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;
no one who walks in them will know peace.
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
feeling our way like men without eyes.
At midday we stumble as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.
we moan mournfully like doves.
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
and our sins testify against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:
turning our backs on our God,
fomenting oppression and revolt,
uttering lies our hearts have conceived.
and righteousness stands at a distance;
truth has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The LORD looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm worked salvation for him,
and his own righteousness sustained him.
and the helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
so will he repay
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands their due.
and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath of the LORD drives along. [a]
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”
declares the LORD.
