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
Revised Standard Version
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
we look for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind,
we grope like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
among those in full vigor we are like dead men.
11 We all growl like bears,
we moan and moan like doves;
we look for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee,
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 away from following our God,
speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands afar off;
for truth has fallen 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
that there was no justice.
