They do not know the way of peace,
    and there is no justice in their firm paths.
They have made their paths crooked for themselves;
    everyone who walks[a] in it knows no peace.
Therefore justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We wait for light, but[b] look! there is darkness;
    for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

    and we grope as without[c] eyes.
We stumble at noon as in the twilight;
    among the strong we are like the dead.
