Isaiah 59:10-12
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 59:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 We feel our way along,
as if we were blind;
we stumble at noon,
as if it were night.
We can see no better
than someone dead.[a]
11 We growl like bears
and mourn like doves.
We hope for justice and victory,
but they escape us.
12 How often have we sinned
and turned against you,
the Lord God?
Our sins condemn us!
We have done wrong.

Isaiah 59:10-12
New International Version
10 Like the blind(A) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(B) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(C)
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(D)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
