Psalm 55:10
English Standard Version
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and (A)iniquity and trouble are within it;
Psalm 55:10
New International Version
10 Day and night they prowl(A) about on its walls;
malice and abuse are within it.
Psalm 59:14-15
English Standard Version
14 (A)Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15 They (B)wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
Psalm 59:14-15
New International Version
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food(A)
and howl if not satisfied.
Isaiah 59:6-15
English Standard Version
6 (A)Their webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.
7 (B)Their feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
8 The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
(C)no one who treads on them knows peace.
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
(D)we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 (E)We grope for the wall like the blind;
we grope like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
(F)among those in full vigor we are like dead men.
11 We all growl like bears;
(G)we moan and moan like doves;
(H)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,
(I)speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
Judgment and Redemption
14 (J)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 59:6-15
New International Version
6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(A)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence(B) are in their hands.
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.(C)
They pursue evil schemes;(D)
acts of violence mark their ways.(E)
8 The way of peace they do not know;(F)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(G)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(H)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(I)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(J) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(K) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(L)
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(M)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses(N) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(O) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(P)
13 rebellion(Q) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(R) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(S)
uttering lies(T) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(U) is driven back,
and righteousness(V) stands at a distance;
truth(W) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(X) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(Y)
