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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They will roar over their victims on that day of destruction like the roaring of the sea. If someone looks across the land, only darkness and distress will be seen; even the light will be darkened by clouds.

The people of Maroth anxiously wait for relief, but only bitterness awaits them as the Lord’s judgment reaches even to the gates of Jerusalem.

We hoped for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.’

But you are pure and cannot stand the sight of evil. Will you wink at their treachery? Should you be silent while the wicked swallow up people more righteous than they?

What sorrow awaits you who say,“ If only the day of the Lord were here!” You have no idea what you are wishing for. That day will bring darkness, not light.In that day you will be like a man who runs from a lion— only to meet a bear. Escaping from the bear, he leans his hand against a wall in his house— and he’s bitten by a snake.Yes, the day of the Lord will be dark and hopeless, without a ray of joy or hope.

Lord, have you completely rejected Judah? Do you really hate Jerusalem? Why have you wounded us past all hope of healing? We hoped for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.

When people are saying,“ Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.

So I looked for good, but evil came instead. I waited for the light, but darkness fell.

The garlands have fallen from our heads. Weep for us because we have sinned.Our hearts are sick and weary, and our eyes grow dim with tears.
