Isaiah 59:9-15
9ThereforeH5921H3651 1justiceH4941 isH7368 farH7368 from us, And righteousnessH6666 does not reachH5381 us; We 2hopeH6960 for lightH216, but thereH2009 is darknessH2822, For brightnessH5054, but we walkH1980 in gloomH653.10We 3gropeH1659 for the wallH7023 like peopleH5787 who are blindH5787, We gropeH1659 like those who haveH369 noH369 eyesH5869. We 4stumbleH3782 at middayH6672 as in the twilightH5399; Among those who are healthyH820 we are 5like the deadH4191.11AllH3605 of us growlH1993 like bearsH1677, And 6moanH1897 sadlyH1897 like dovesH3123; We hopeH6960 for 7justiceH4941, but thereH369 isH369 noneH369; For salvationH3444, but it isH7368 farH7368 from us.12For our 8wrongfulH6588 actsH6588 have multipliedH7231 beforeH5048 You, And our 9sinsH2403 have testifiedH6030 against us; For our wrongfulH6588 actsH6588 are with us, And 10we knowH3045 our wrongdoingsH5771:1311OffendingH6586 and 12denyingH3584 the LordH3068, And turningH5472 awayH5472 from our GodH430, SpeakingH1696 13oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627, ConceivingH2029 and 14utteringH1897 lyingH8267 wordsH1697 from the heartH3820.1415JusticeH4941 is turnedH5472 backH268, And 16righteousnessH6666 standsH5975 farH7350 awayH4480; For truthH571 has stumbledH3782 in the streetH7339, And uprightnessH5228 cannotH3201H3808 enterH935.15TruthH571 isH5737 lackingH5737, And one who turnsH5493 asideH5493 from evilH7451 17makesH7997 himself a preyH7997. Now the LordH3068 sawH7200, And it was 18displeasingH7489 in His sightH5869 19that thereH369 wasH369 noH369 justiceH4941.
