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.

Isaías 59:2 In-Context
1
Advertencias contra el pecado ¡Escuchen! El brazo del Señor no es demasiado débil para no salvarlos, ni su oído demasiado sordo para no oír su clamor.
2
Son sus pecados los que los han separado de Dios. A causa de esos pecados, él se alejó y ya no los escuchará.
3
Las manos de ustedes son manos de asesinos, y tienen los dedos sucios de pecado. Sus labios están llenos de mentiras y su boca vomita corrupción.
4
A nadie le importa ser justo y honrado; las demandas legales de la gente se basan en mentiras. Conciben malas acciones y después dan a luz el pecado.
5
Incuban serpientes mortales y tejen telas de araña. El que caiga en sus telarañas morirá, y aun acercarse a ellas será peligroso.
