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].

We grope {H1659} for the wall {H7023} like the blind {H5787}, and we grope {H1659} as if we had no eyes {H5869}: we stumble {H3782} at noonday {H6672} as in the night {H5399}; we are in desolate {H820} places as dead {H4191} men.

We grope for the wall like the blind; like people without eyes we feel our way; we stumble at noonday as if it were dusk, we are in dark places like the dead.

Like the blind, we feel our way along the wall, groping like those without eyes. We stumble at midday as in the twilight; among the vigorous we are like the dead.

We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men.
