Isaiah 59:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ We are always complaining;
    we growl like bears and moan like doves.
We are waiting for justice,
    but there is none.
We are waiting to be saved,
    but salvation is still far away.
¹² That’s because we committed crimes against our God.
    Our own sins speak out against us.
We know we are guilty.
    We know we have sinned.
¹³ We rebelled against the Lord
    and lied to him.
We turned away from our God
    and left him.
We planned to hurt others
    and to rebel against God.
From hearts filled with lies,
    we talked about it and made our plans.
