9
Therefore has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.
7
And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways;
8
and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgment in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not peace.
9
Therefore has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.
10
They shall feel for the wall as blind , and shall feel as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noon-day as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men.
11
They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgment, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us.
