Isaiah 59:1-2 says:

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short that it cannot save; neither is His ear so dull that it cannot hear. But your iniquities* have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins* have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.  Isaiah 59:1-2 (NAS)

Question:

According to Isaiah 59:1-2, whose sin* has separated me from God?

Other Translations - Isaiah 59:1-2:

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. (NIV)

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.  But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. (NKJ)

Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear. (ASV)

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. (KJV)

*As discussed earlier, the word "sin" means to miss the road, miss the mark, or to break God's divine laws. The word "iniquities" is from the Hebrew word --'avon-- meaning perversity or evil.
