Ver. 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, &c.] Like a partition wall dividing between them, so that they enjoy no communion with him in his worship and ordinances; which is greatly the case of the reformed churches: they profess the true God, and the worship of him, and do attend the outward ordinances of it; but this is done in such a cold formal way, and such sins and wickedness are perpetrated and connived at, that the Lord does not grant his gracious presence to them, but stands at a distance from them: and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear; or have caused him to hide himself; withdraw his gracious presence; neglect the prayers put up to him; deny an answer to them; or, however, not appear as yet for the deliverance and salvation of them, and bringing them into a more comfortable, prosperous, and happy condition.

La mano del SEÑORno es corta para salvar,ni es sordo su oído para oír.
2
Son las iniquidades de ustedeslas que los separan de su Dios.Son estos pecados los que lo llevana ocultar su rostro para no escuchar.
3
Ustedes tienen las manos manchadas de sangrey los dedos manchados de iniquidad.Sus labios dicen mentiras;su lengua murmura maldades.
4
Nadie clama por la justicia,nadie va a juicio con integridad.Se confía en argumentos sin sentido,y se mienten unos a otros.Conciben maliciay dan a luz perversidad.
5
Incuban huevos de víborasy tejen telarañas.El que coma de estos huevos morirá;si uno de ellos se rompe, saldrá una culebra.
