Isaiah 59:8-10
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 59:8-10
New International Reader's Version
8 They don’t know how to live at peace with others.
What they do isn’t fair.
They lead twisted lives.
No one who lives like that will enjoy peace and rest.
9 We aren’t being treated fairly.
We haven’t been set free yet.
The God who always does what is right
hasn’t come to help us.
We look for light, but we see nothing but darkness.
We look for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like blind people we feel our way along the wall.
We are like those who can’t see.
At noon we trip and fall as if the sun had already set.
Compared to those who are healthy, we are like dead people.

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)
