Isaiah 59:11
Isaiah 59:11 New International Version (NIV)
We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away.
Isaiah 59:9-11 The Message (MSG)
Which means that we’re a far cry from fair dealing, and we’re not even close to right living. We long for light but sink into darkness, long for brightness but stumble through the night. Like the blind, we inch along a wall, groping eyeless in the dark. We shuffle our way in broad daylight, like the dead, but somehow walking. We’re no better off than bears, groaning, and no worse off than doves, moaning. We look for justice—not a sign of it; for salvation—not so much as a hint.
Isaiah 59:11 King James Version (KJV)
We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isaiah 59:11 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
All of us growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We hope for justice, but there is none, For salvation, but it is far from us.
Isaiah 59:11 New Century Version (NCV)
All of us growl like the bears. We call out sadly like the doves. We look for justice, but there isn’t any. We want to be saved, but salvation is far away.
Isaiah 59:11 American Standard Version (ASV)
We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isaiah 59:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
We all growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We look for justice, but there is none; For salvation, but it is far from us.
Isaiah 59:11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
We all groan and growl like bears, And coo sadly like doves; We hope for justice, but there is none, For salvation, but it is far from us.
Isaiah 59:11 New Living Translation (NLT)
We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves. We look for justice, but it never comes. We look for rescue, but it is far away from us.
