Isaiah 59:9-11

Tree of Life Version

⁹ That is why justice is far from us
and righteousness does not reach us.
We hope for light, but behold darkness,
    for brightness, but walk in gloom.
¹⁰ We grope along the wall like the blind.
We grope like those with no eyes.
We stumble at noon as at twilight.
We are like the dead in desolation.
¹¹ All of us growl like bears
    or moan like doves.
We hope for justice, but there is none;
    for salvation, but it is far from us.
