Isaiah 59:9-15
English Standard Version
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
(A)we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 (B)We grope for the wall like the blind;
we grope like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
(C)among those in full vigor we are like dead men.
11 We all growl like bears;
(D)we moan and moan like doves;
(E)we hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
and our sins testify against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:
13 transgressing, and denying the Lord,
and turning back from following our God,
(F)speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
Judgment and Redemption
14 (G)Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.

Isaiah 59:9-15
New American Standard Bible
A Confession of Wickedness
9 Therefore (A)justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not reach us;
We (B)hope for light, but there is darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We (C)grope for the wall like people who are blind,
We grope like those who have no eyes.
We (D)stumble at midday as in the twilight;
Among those who are healthy we are (E)like the dead.
11 All of us growl like bears,
And (F)moan sadly like doves;
We hope for (G)justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our (H)wrongful acts have multiplied before You,
And our (I)sins have testified against us;
For our wrongful acts are with us,
And [a]we know our wrongdoings:
13 [b]Offending and (J)denying the Lord,
And turning away from our God,
Speaking (K)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and (L)uttering lying words from the heart.
14 (M)Justice is turned back,
And (N)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
And one who turns aside from evil (O)makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw,
And it was [c]displeasing in His sight (P)that there was no justice.
