10 aWe grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
11 We all growl like bears,
And amoan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
And amoan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our atransgressions are multiplied before You,
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering afrom the heart words of falsehood.
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering afrom the heart words of falsehood.
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a aprey.
Then the Lord saw it, and1 it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
And he who departs from evil makes himself a aprey.
Then the Lord saw it, and1 it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
