Isaiah 30:12

12 Therefore the Holy One of Israel says:
“Because you have rejected this message
and have trusted in oppression and deceit,
and have depended on them,
Isaiah 30:12
New International Version
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One(A) of Israel says:
Isaiah 59:9-15
Christian Standard Bible
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We hope for light, but there is darkness;
for brightness, but we live in the night.
10 We grope along a wall like the blind;
we grope like those without eyes.(A)
We stumble at noon as though it were twilight;
we are like the dead among those who are healthy.
11 We all growl like bears
and moan like doves.(B)
We hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions have multiplied before you,(C)
and our sins testify against us.(D)
For our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:(E)
13 transgression and deception against the Lord,
turning away from following our God,
speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.
14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public square,
and honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth is missing,
and whoever turns from evil is plundered.
The Lord saw that there was no justice,
and he was offended.
Isaiah 59:9-15
New International Version
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(A)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(B) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(C) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(D)
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(E)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses(F) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(G) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(H)
13 rebellion(I) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(J) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(K)
uttering lies(L) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(M) is driven back,
and righteousness(N) stands at a distance;
truth(O) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(P) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(Q)
