Isaiah 59:9-11

A Confession of Wickedness

9 Therefore ^ajustice is far from us,
And righteousness does not reach us;
We ^bhope for light, but there is darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We ^cgrope for the wall like people who are blind,
We grope like those who have no eyes.
We ^dstumble at midday as in the twilight;
Among those who are healthy we are ^elike the dead.
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.
