Isaiah 59:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 They do not know the (A)way of peace,
And there is (B)no justice in their tracks;
They have made their paths crooked,
(C)Whoever walks on [a]them does not know peace.
A Confession of Wickedness
9 Therefore (D)justice is far from us,
And righteousness does not reach us;
We (E)hope for light, but there is darkness,
For brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 We (F)grope for the wall like people who are blind,
We grope like those who have no eyes.
We (G)stumble at midday as in the twilight;
Among those who are healthy we are (H)like the dead.

Isaiah 59:8-10
New International Version
8 The way of peace they do not know;(A)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(B)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(C)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(D)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(E) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(F) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(G)
