Verse 1

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:[3]

Verse 2

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.[4]

Verse 21

As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord;
My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth,
shall not depart out of thy mouth,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed,
saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.[5]
