¹⁰ The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:^(A)
    He has sealed your eyes^(B) (the prophets);^(C)
    he has covered your heads (the seers).^(D)

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

¹⁰ Like the blind^(A) we grope along the wall,
    feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble^(B) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.^(C)
