15  When you ^uspread out your hands,

I will hide my eyes from you;

even though you make many prayers,

^vI will not listen;

your hands are full of blood.

8  ^vIn overflowing anger for a moment

I ^whid my face from you,

but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”

says the Lord, your Redeemer.

17  Because of the iniquity of his ^funjust gain I was angry,

I struck him; I ^ghid my face and was angry,

but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.

7  There is no one who calls upon your name,

who rouses himself to take hold of you;

for you have ^rhidden your face from us,

and have made us melt in¹ the hand of our iniquities.
