Isaiah 59:11-13
The Voice
11 We growl like bears and moan like doves.
We hope that maybe, just maybe, it will all turn out right;
But it doesn’t. We look for liberation, but it’s too far away.
12 For our wrongdoing runs too deep before You.
Our sins stack up against us—sure evidence of our guilt.
For our offenses are always with us; they are insidious and lasting, as You know.
Our guilt says it all. We know it, too.
13 We took You for nothing, and did just the opposite of Your commands.
We broke our promises to You, ignored and rejected You.
We hatched up schemes to oppress others and rebel, to twist the truth for our gain
while presenting it as honest-to-God fact.
Isaiah 59:11-13
New International Version
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(A)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses(B) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(C) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(D)
13 rebellion(E) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(F) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(G)
uttering lies(H) our hearts have conceived.
