Isaiah 59:9-11
9
Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We hope for light, but there is darkness;
for brightness, but we live in the night.
10 and righteousness does not reach us.
We hope for light, but there is darkness;
for brightness, but we live in the night.
We grope along a wall like the blind;
we grope like those without eyes.(A)
We stumble at noon as though it were twilight;
we are like the dead among those who are healthy.
11 we grope like those without eyes.(A)
We stumble at noon as though it were twilight;
we are like the dead among those who are healthy.
We all growl like bears
and moan like doves.(B)
We hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
and moan like doves.(B)
We hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
