We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 10 is found in chapter 59 of Isaiah. Sin is described as a barrier produced by the people’s own iniquity, not by a lack of power in God. Injustice, violence, and lies contaminate collective life. In the absence of an intercessor, Yahweh himself intervenes with justice and establishes a covenant through his Spirit and word.

Wir tappen nach der Wand wie die Blinden und tappen, wie die keine Augen haben. Wir stoßen uns im Mittag wie in der Dämmerung; wir sind im Düstern wie die Toten.
Palpamos la pared como ciegos, y andamos a tiento como sin ojos; tropezamos al medio día como de noche; estamos en oscuros lugares como muertos.
Palpamos la pared como ciegos; andamos a tientas como quienes no tienen ojos. Tropezamos al mediodía como al anochecer; entre los robustos somos como muertos.
Nous tâtonnons comme des aveugles le long d'un mur, Nous tâtonnons comme ceux qui n'ont point d'yeux; Nous chancelons à midi comme de nuit, Au milieu de l'abondance nous ressemblons à des morts.
Noi siamo andati brancolando intorno alla parete, come ciechi; siamo andati brancolando, come quelli che non hanno occhi; noi ci siamo intoppati nel mezzodì, come in sul vespro; noi siamo stati in luoghi ermi e solitari, come morti.
Apalpamos as paredes como cegos, e como os que não têm olhos andamos apalpando; tropeçamos ao meio-dia como nas trevas, e nos lugares escuros como mortos.
我們用手摸牆,好像盲人, 四處摸索,如同失明的人; 中午時我們絆倒,如在黃昏一樣, 在強壯的人中,我們好像死人一般。
