Isaiah 59:9-15 (New International Version)

 ⁹ So justice is far from us,
       and righteousness does not reach us.
       We look for light, but all is darkness;
       for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.

 ¹⁰ Like the blind we grope along the wall,
       feeling our way like men without eyes.
       At midday we stumble as if it were twilight;
       among the strong, we are like the dead.

 ¹¹ We all growl like bears;
       we moan mournfully like doves.
       We look for justice, but find none;
       for deliverance, but it is far away.

 ¹² For our offenses are many in your sight,
       and our sins testify against us.
       Our offenses are ever with us,
       and we acknowledge our iniquities:

 ¹³ rebellion and treachery against the LORD,
       turning our backs on our God,
       fomenting oppression and revolt,
       uttering lies our hearts have conceived.

 ¹⁴ So justice is driven back,
       and righteousness stands at a distance;
       truth has stumbled in the streets,
       honesty cannot enter.

 ¹⁵ Truth is nowhere to be found,
       and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
       The LORD looked and was displeased
       that there was no justice.
