Isaiah 59:11-13
International Standard Version
11 We all growl like bears;
we[a] sigh mournfully like doves.
We look for justice, but there is none,
and[b] for deliverance, but it’s far from us.
12 “For our transgressions before you are many,
and our sins testify[c] against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
and as for our iniquities,
we acknowledge them:
13 they’ve rebelled[d] in[e] treachery against the Lord,
and are turning away from following our God;
and they’ve spoken[f] oppression and revolt,
and are conceiving[g] lying words from the heart.
