Isaiah 59:9-11

Good News Translation

The People Confess Their Sin

⁹ The people say, “Now we know why God does not save us from those who oppress us. We hope for light to walk by, but there is only darkness, ¹⁰ and we grope about like blind people. We stumble at noon, as if it were night, as if we were in the dark world of the dead. ¹¹ We are frightened and distressed. We long for God to save us from oppression and wrong, but nothing happens.
