In context

1Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear?

— Isaiah 59:2 —

3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips also have spoken iniquity, and your tongue meditates unrighteousness.

4None speaks justly, neither is there true judgment: they trust in vanities, and speak empty words; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity.
