Isaiah 59:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ Therefore justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We wait for light, but^[a] look! there is darkness;
    for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
¹⁰ We grope like the blind along a wall,
    and we grope as without^[b] eyes.
We stumble at noon as in the twilight;
    among the strong we are like the dead.
¹¹ We all groan like bears,
    and we coo mutteringly like doves.
We wait for justice, but^[c] there is none;
    for salvation, but it is far from us.
