Isaiah 59:9-12
9Therefore 1justice is far from us, And righteousness does not overtake us; We 2hope for light, but behold, darkness, For brightness, but we walk in gloom.10We 3grope along the wall like blind men, We grope like those who have no eyes; We 4stumble at midday as in the twilight, Among those who are vigorous we are 5like dead men.11All of us growl like bears, And 6moan sadly like doves; We hope for 7justice, but there is none, For salvation, but it is far from us.12For our 8transgressions are multiplied before You, And our 9sins 10testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And 11we know our iniquities:
