For this reason deliverance is far from us and salvation does not reach us. We wait for light, but see only darkness; we wait for a bright light, but live in deep darkness.

因此，公平离我们远，公义追不上我们。我们指望光亮，却是黑暗，指望光明，却行幽暗。

因此，公平离我们甚远，公义追不上我们。我们指望光亮，看哪，却只有黑暗，指望光明，却行在幽暗中。

因此，公平离我们甚远，公义追不上我们。我们指望光亮，看哪，却只有黑暗，指望光明，却行在幽暗中。

因此，正义远离我们，公义临不到我们。我们渴望光明，却得到黑暗；我们渴望曙光，却仍然走在幽暗中。

因此，公平远离我们，公义赶不上我们，我们指望亮光，不料，却是黑暗。我们指望光明，却行在幽暗中！

因此公正远离我们，公义追不上我们。我们指望光明，看哪，却是黑暗；我们指望亮光，却行走在幽暗之中！

因此，公平離我們遠，公義追不上我們。我們指望光亮，卻是黑暗，指望光明，卻行幽暗。

因此，公平離我們甚遠，公義追不上我們。我們指望光亮，看哪，卻只有黑暗，指望光明，卻行在幽暗中。

因此，公平離我們甚遠，公義追不上我們。我們指望光亮，看哪，卻只有黑暗，指望光明，卻行在幽暗中。

因此，正義遠離我們，公義臨不到我們。我們渴望光明，卻得到黑暗；我們渴望曙光，卻仍然走在幽暗中。

因此，公平遠離我們，公義趕不上我們，我們指望亮光，不料，卻是黑暗。我們指望光明，卻行在幽暗中！

因此公平離了我們很遠；義氣正義趕不上我們；我們指望着光，唉，卻是黑暗！指望着光明，卻行於幽暗。

因此公正遠離我們，公義追不上我們。我們指望光明，看哪，卻是黑暗；我們指望亮光，卻行走在幽暗之中！

故公平遠我、仁義不及我躬、我望光明、仍處幽暗、我冀平旦、猶履晦冥、

故上帝不伸我冤、不拯我躬、我望光明、忽致幽暗、我望日中、偏值晦冥。

故我冤不伸、或作故主不速伸我冤仁義仁義或作救恩不臨及我躬、我儕望光仍為幽暗、盼亮仍行於晦冥、

So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.

We aren’t being treated fairly. We haven’t been set free yet. The God who always does what is right hasn’t come to help us. We look for light, but we see nothing but darkness. We look for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us; we hope for light, and behold, darkness, and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living. We look for light but find only darkness. We look for bright skies but walk in gloom.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we live in the night.

Therefore justice is far from us, And righteousness does not reach us; We hope for light, but there is darkness, For brightness, but we walk in gloom.

Therefore justice is far from us, Nor does righteousness overtake us; We look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness!

Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we live in the night.

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.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

At that time they will growl over their prey, it will sound like sea waves crashing against rocks. One will look out over the land and see the darkness of disaster, clouds will turn the light into darkness.

Indeed, the residents of Maroth hope for something good to happen, though the LORD has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem.

We hoped for good fortune, but nothing good has come of it. We hoped for a time of relief, but instead we experience terror.

You are too just to tolerate evil; you are unable to condone wrongdoing. So why do you put up with such treacherous people? Why do you say nothing when the wicked devour those more righteous than they are?

Woe to those who wish for the day of the LORD! Why do you want the LORD’s day of judgment to come? It will bring darkness, not light.Disaster will be inescapable, as if a man ran from a lion only to meet a bear, then escaped into a house, leaned his hand against the wall, and was bitten by a poisonous snake.Don’t you realize the LORD’s day of judgment will bring darkness, not light– gloomy blackness, not bright light?

Then I said,“ LORD, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah? Do you despise the city of Zion? Why have you struck us with such force that we are beyond recovery? We hope for peace, but nothing good has come of it. We hope for a time of relief from our troubles, but experience terror.

Now when they are saying,“ There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape.

But when I hoped for good, trouble came; when I expected light, then darkness came.

The crown has fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned!Because of this, our hearts are sick; because of these things, we can hardly see through our tears.
