## Isaiah 59:11-13 in Context (Verses 8–16 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/8) The way of peace they know not; and *there is* no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/9) ¶ Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, *but* we walk in darkness.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/10) We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if *we had* no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; *we are* in desolate places as dead *men*.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/11) 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.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/12) For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions *are* with us; and *as for* our iniquities, we know them;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/13) In 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/14) And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/15) Yea, truth faileth; and he *that* departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw *it*, and it displeased him that *there was* no judgment.**
 
 [16 ](/kjv/isaiah/59/16) ¶ And he saw that *there was* no man, and wondered that *there was* no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
 
[Isaiah 58](/kjv/isaiah/58) [Isaiah 60](/kjv/isaiah/60)
