Isaiah 59:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
A Confession of Wickedness
9 Therefore (A)justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not overtake us;
We (B)hope for light, but behold, darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We (C)grope along the wall like blind men,
We grope like those who have no eyes;
We (D)stumble at midday as in the twilight,
Among those who are vigorous we are (E)like dead men.
11 All of us growl like bears,
And (F)moan sadly like doves;
We hope for (G)justice, but there is none,
For salvation, but it is far from us.
Jeremiah 14:19
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 Have You completely (A)rejected Judah?
Or have [a]You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we (B)are beyond healing?
We (C)waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
