Isaiah 59:9 in Context — Isaiah 59
7 Sus pies corren al mal, y se apresuran para derramar la sangre inocente; sus pensamientos, pensamientos de iniquidad, destrucción y quebrantamiento en sus caminos.
8 No conocieron camino de paz, ni hay derecho en sus caminos: sus veredas son torcidas; cualquiera que por ellas fuere, no conocerá paz.
9 Por esto se alejó de nosotros el juicio, y no nos alcanzó justicia: esperamos luz, y he aquí tinieblas; resplandores, y andamos en oscuridad.
10 Palpamos la pared como ciegos, y andamos á tiento como sin ojos; tropezamos al medio día como de noche; estamos en oscuros lugares como muertos.
11 Aullamos como osos todos nosotros, y gemimos lastimeramente como palomas: esperamos juicio, y no lo hay; salud, y alejóse de nosotros.
