Isaiah 59:9-10

9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
^awe hope for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 ^bWe grope for the wall like the blind;
we grope like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
^camong those in full vigor we are like dead men.
