They don’t know the way of peace.
    There’s no justice on their highways.
    They’ve made their paths crooked.
    Whoever walks on them will never know peace.

That is why justice is far from us,
    and righteousness doesn’t reach us.
    We hope for light, but we walk in darkness.
    We hope for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We grope like blind men along a wall.
    We grope like people without eyes.
    We stumble at noon as if it were twilight.
    We are like dead people among healthy people.

At midday we stumble(F) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.(G)
