This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
59:9 Societal sinfulness
9 Therefore, justice is far from us
and righteousness doesn’t reach us.
We wait for light, but look, we get darkness.
We wait for gleams of light, but walk in the gloom.
10 We grope along the wall like the blind,
and feel around as though we had no eyes.
Even at midday, we stumble as if it’s twilight—
among the living but behaving like the dead.
11 All of us growl like bears,
≈ and moan mournfully like doves.
We keep hoping for justice, but none comes,
≈ for rescue, but it’s far away
12 because our transgressions in front of you are many.
≈ Our sins have testified against us
because our transgressions are with us,
≈ and as for our iniquities, we know them.
13 We’ve rebelled and denied Yahweh,
and turned away from following our god—
promoting oppression and rebellion instead.
We’ve conceived and told lies as if they were the heart-felt truth.
14 Justice is driven right back,
and righteousness stands off at a distance,
because truth has stumbled in the public square,
15 So then truth went missing,
