Isaiah 59:8-10
International Children’s Bible
8 They don’t know how to live in peace.
There is no fairness in their lives.
They are dishonest.
Anyone who lives as they live will never have peace.
Israel’s Sin Brings Trouble
9 Fairness has gone far away.
Goodness is nowhere to be found.
We wait for the light, but there is only darkness now.
We hope for a bright light, but all we have is darkness.
10 We are like blind people feeling our way along a wall.
We have to feel our way as if we had no eyes.
In the brightness of day we trip as if it were night.
We are like dead men among the strong.
Isaiah 59:8-10
New International Version
Isaiah 59:8-10
New International Version
8 The way of peace they do not know;(A)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(B)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(C)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(D)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(E) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(F) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(G)
