Isaiah 59:10

World English Bible Updated

We grope for the wall like the blind.

Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes.

We stumble at noon as if it were twilight.

Among those who are strong, we are like dead men.

Isaiah 59:10 in context

Isaiah 59:7–13

7

Their feet run to evil,

and they hurry to shed innocent blood.

Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity.

Desolation and destruction are in their paths.

8

They don’t know the way of peace;

and there is no justice in their ways.

They have made crooked paths for themselves;

whoever goes in them doesn’t know peace.

9

Therefore justice is far from us,

and righteousness doesn’t overtake us.

We look for light, but see darkness;

for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

10
Selected verse

We grope for the wall like the blind.

Yes, we grope as those who have no eyes.

We stumble at noon as if it were twilight.

Among those who are strong, we are like dead men.

11

We all roar like bears

and moan sadly like doves.

We look for justice, but there is none,

for salvation, but it is far off from us.

12

For our transgressions are multiplied before you,

and our sins testify against us;

for our transgressions are with us,

and as for our iniquities, we know them:

13

transgressing and denying the LORD,

and turning away from following our God,

speaking oppression and revolt,

conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
