57:17 I was angry because of their sinful greed;
I attacked them and angrily rejected them, 1
yet they remained disobedient and stubborn. 2
59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God;
your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers. 3
59:6 Their webs cannot be used for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.
Their deeds are sinful;
they commit violent crimes. 4
