Isaiah 59:9-11

A Confession of Wickedness

9 Therefore ^ajustice is far from us,
And righteousness does not overtake us;
We ^bhope for light, but behold, darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We ^cgrope along the wall like blind men,
We grope like those who have no eyes;
We ^dstumble at midday as in the twilight,
Among those who are vigorous we are ^elike dead men.
11 All of us growl like bears,
And ^fmoan sadly like doves;
We hope for ^gjustice, but there is none,
For salvation, but it is far from us.
