Isaiah 59:9-13
New King James Version
Isaiah 59:9-13
New King James Version
Sin Confessed
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
(A)We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
10 (B)We grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
11 We all growl like bears,
And (C)moan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our (D)transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering (E)from the heart words of falsehood.
Isaiah 59:9-13
New International Version
Isaiah 59:9-13
New International Version
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(B) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(C) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(D)
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(E)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses(F) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(G) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(H)
13 rebellion(I) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(J) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(K)
uttering lies(L) our hearts have conceived.
