Isaiah 59:13

Context

59:13 We have rebelled and tried to deceive the Lord;

we turned back from following our God.

We stir up 1  oppression and rebellion;

we tell lies we concocted in our minds. 2 

Isaiah 64:6

Context

64:6 We are all like one who is unclean,

all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. 3 

We all wither like a leaf;

our sins carry us away like the wind.

1 tn Heb “speaking.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.”

3 tn Heb “and like a garment of menstruation [are] all our righteous acts”; KJV, NIV “filthy rags”; ASV “a polluted garment.”
