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.

For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.

Δια τουτο η κρισις ειναι μακραν αφ' ημων και η δικαιοσυνη δεν μας φθανει· προσμενομεν φως και ιδου, σκοτος· λαμψιν, και περιπατουμεν εν ζοφω.

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.
