But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 59 of Isaiah. Sin is described as a barrier produced by the people’s own iniquity, not by a lack of power in God. Injustice, violence, and lies contaminate collective life. In the absence of an intercessor, Yahweh himself intervenes with justice and establishes a covenant through his Spirit and word.

sondern eure Untugenden scheiden euch und euren Gott voneinander, und eure Sünden verbergen das Angesicht vor euch, daß ihr nicht gehört werdet.
Mas vuestras iniquidades han hecho división entre vosotros y vuestro Dios, y vuestros pecados han hecho ocultar su rostro de vosotros, para no oír.
Mais ce sont vos crimes qui mettent une séparation Entre vous et votre Dieu; Ce sont vos péchés qui vous cachent sa face Et l'empêchent de vous écouter.
Ma le vostre iniquità sono quelle che han fatta separazione tra voi e l’Iddio vostro; e i vostri peccati han fatta nasconder la sua faccia da voi, per non ascoltare.
Mas as vossas iniqüidades fazem separação entre vós e o vosso Deus; e os vossos pecados encobrem o seu rosto de vós, para que não vos ouça.
但你們的罪孽使你們與上帝隔絕, 你們的罪惡使他轉臉不聽你們。
