Isaiah 59:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 We grope for the wall like the [a]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 [b]bears, and mourn like doves: we look for equity, but there is none: for health, but it is far from us.
12 For our trespasses are many before thee, and our [c]sins testify against us: for our trespasses are with us, and we know our iniquities

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.
