Parallel ISA 59:9

BSB  ⇔ Therefore justice is far from us,
⇔ and righteousness does not reach us.
 ⇔ We hope for light, but there is darkness;
⇔ for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

OEB For this cause our right remains far,
⇔ and no victory yet overtakes us;
 ⇔ we look for the light, but lo! Darkness –
⇔ for brightness, but walk in the gloom.

⇔ and righteousness doesn’t overtake us.

NET For this reason deliverance is far from us
 ⇔ and salvation does not reach us.

LSV Therefore judgment has been far from us,
And righteousness does not reach us,
We wait for light, and behold, darkness,
For brightness—in thick darkness we go,

T4T  ⇔ Because of that, God does not rescue us from our enemies;
⇔ it seems that he is not acting fairly/righteously toward us.
 ⇔ We expect God to give us light,
⇔ but all he gives us is darkness [DOU].

LEB  •  and righteousness does not reach us. •  We wait for light, but[fn] look! there is darkness; •  for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
