Isaiah 59:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Therefore is [a]judgment far from us, neither doth [b]justice come near unto us: we wait for light, but lo, it is darkness: for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the [c]blind, and we grope as one without eyes: we stumble at the noon day as in the twilight: we are in solitary places, as dead men.
11 We roar all like [d]bears, and mourn like doves: we look for equity, but there is none: for health, but it is far from us.
