Isaiah 59:11
King James VersionSource notes
“We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but none; for salvation, it is far off from us.”
Context
8The way of peace they know not; and no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, we walk in darkness.
10We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; in desolate places as dead
11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but none; for salvation, it is far off from us.
12For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions with us; and our iniquities, we know them;
13In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
