Isaiah 59:9-15
9ThereforeH5921H3651 justiceH4941 is farH7368 from usH4480, and righteousnessH6666 does notH3808 reach usH5381. We hopeH6960 for lightH216, but thereH2009 is darknessH2822; for brightnessH5054, but we walkH1980 in gloomH653.10Like the blindH5787, we feel our way alongH1659 the wallH7023, gropingH1659 like those withoutH369 eyesH5869. We stumbleH3782 at middayH6672 as in the twilightH5399; among the vigorousH820 we are like the deadH4191.11We allH3605 growlH1993 like bearsH1677 and moanH1897 like dovesH3123. We hopeH6960 for justiceH4941, but find noneH369, for salvationH3444, but it is farH7368 from usH4480.
12ForH3588 our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7231 before YouH5048,and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030 against us.Our transgressionsH6588 are indeedH3588 with usH854,and we knowH3045 our iniquitiesH5771:13rebellingH6586 and denyingH3584 the LORDH3068,turning awayH5253 fromH310 our GodH430,speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627,conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 liesH8267 from the heartH3820.14So justiceH4941 is turned awayH5253H268,and righteousnessH6666 standsH5975 at a distanceH7350.ForH3588 truthH571 has stumbledH3782 in the public squareH7339,and honestyH5229 cannotH3808H3201 enterH935.15TruthH571 isH1961 missingH5737,and whoever turnsH5493 from evilH7451 becomes preyH7997.
