Isaiah 59:8-10
King James Version
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

Isaiah 59:8-10
New King James Version
8 The way of (A)peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
(B)They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
Sin Confessed
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
(C)We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
10 (D)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.
Isaiah 59:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 They do not know the (A)way of peace,
And there is (B)no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
(C)Whoever walks on [a]them does not know peace.
A Confession of Wickedness
9 Therefore (D)justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not reach us;
We (E)hope for light, but there is darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We (F)grope for the wall like people who are blind,
We grope like those who have no eyes.
We (G)stumble at midday as in the twilight;
Among those who are healthy we are (H)like the dead.
