Isaiah 59:9-11

Names of God Bible

⁹ That is why justice is far from us,
    and righteousness doesn’t reach us.
    We hope for light, but we walk in darkness.
    We hope for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
¹⁰ We grope like blind men along a wall.
    We grope like people without eyes.
    We stumble at noon as if it were twilight.
    We are like dead people among healthy people.
¹¹ We all growl like bears.
    We coo like doves.
    We hope for justice, but there is none.
    We hope for salvation, but it’s far from us.
