Isaiah 59:10-14

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ We grope like the blind along a wall,
    and we grope as without^[a] eyes.
We stumble at noon as in the twilight;
    among the strong we are like the dead.
¹¹ We all groan like bears,
    and we coo mutteringly like doves.
We wait for justice, but^[b] there is none;
    for salvation, but it is far from us.
¹² For our transgressions are numerous before you,
    and our sins testify^[c] against us.
Indeed, our transgressions are with us,
    and we know our iniquities:
¹³ transgressing and denying Yahweh,
    and turning away from following^[d] our God;
speaking oppression and falsehood,
    conceiving and uttering words of deception from the heart.
¹⁴ And justice is pushed back,
    and righteousness stands afar;
for truth stumbles in the public square,
    and straightforwardness is unable to enter,
