Isaiah 59:1

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.

Isaiah 59:1 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 59.

1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.

2 But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.

3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.

4 No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case honestly. They rely on empty pleas; they tell lies; they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.

5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and weave a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.
