Isaiah 59:9-15
Legacy Standard Bible
Trangressing and Denying Yahweh
9 Therefore (A)justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not overtake us;
We (B)hope for light, but behold, darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in thick darkness.
10 We (C)grope along the wall like blind men;
We grope like those who have no eyes;
We (D)stumble at midday as in the twilight,
Among those who are vigorous we are (E)like dead men.
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)transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our (I)sins answer against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And [a]we know our iniquities:
13 Transgressing and (J)denying Yahweh,
And turning back from our God,
Speaking (K)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving in and (L)uttering from the heart lying words.
14 (M)Justice is turned back,
And (N)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And rightness cannot enter.
15 So it is that truth is missing;
And he who turns aside from evil (O)makes himself plunder.
Then Yahweh saw,
And it was evil in His eyes (P)that there was no justice.

Isaiah 59:9-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and deliverance does not reach us;
we wait for light, but there is only darkness;
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.(A)
10 We grope like the blind along a wall,
groping like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
among the vigorous[a] as though we were dead.(B)
11 We all growl like bears;
like doves we moan mournfully.
We wait for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.(C)
12 For our transgressions before you are many,
and our sins testify against us.
Our transgressions indeed are with us,
and we know our iniquities:(D)
13 transgressing and denying the Lord
and turning away from following our God,
talking oppression and revolt,
conceiving lying words and uttering them from the heart.(E)
14 Justice is turned back,
and deliverance stands at a distance,
for truth stumbles in the public square,
and uprightness cannot enter.(F)
15 Truth is lacking,
and whoever turns from evil is despoiled.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no justice.(G)
