Isaiah 59:9-11
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.

And has (B)closed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, (C)the seers.
11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a [a]book (D)that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.”
(E)And he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 Then the book is delivered to one who [b]is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.”
And he says, “I am not literate.”
