Isaiah 59:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ All fairness and goodness is gone.
There is only darkness around us,
    so we must wait for the light.
We hope for a bright light,
    but all we have is darkness.
¹⁰ We are like people without eyes.
    We walk into walls like blind people.
We stumble and fall as if it was night.
    Even in the daylight, we cannot see.
    At noontime, we fall like dead men.
¹¹ We are always complaining;
    we growl like bears and moan like doves.
We are waiting for justice,
    but there is none.
We are waiting to be saved,
    but salvation is still far away.
