Isaiah 59:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ The way of peace they do not know,
    and there is no justice in their ways;
they have made their paths crooked;
    whoever walks in them does not know peace.

⁹ Therefore, justice is far from us,
    nor does righteousness overtake us;
we wait for light, but there is darkness,
    for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
¹⁰ We grope along the wall like the blind,
    and we grope as if we had no eyes;
we stumble at noonday as in the night;
    among those who are vigorous, we are as dead men.
