Isaiah 59:9-15

9That 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.

10We 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.

11All 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.

12For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us, for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities:

13transgressing and denying Adonai, turning back from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.

14Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far off. For truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

15So now truth is missing, and whoever shuns evil becomes prey. Now when Adonai saw it, it was displeasing in His eyes that there was no justice.
