Isaiah 59:11

English Standard Version

11 We all growl like bears; we moan and moan like doves; we hope for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us. (Isa 38:14; Isa 46:13; Isa 56:1; Isa 59:9) 

New International Version

11 We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away. 

New International Reader’s Version

11 All of us growl like hungry bears. We sound like doves as we mourn. We want the LORD to do what is fair and save us. But he doesn’t do it. We long for him to set us free. But the time for that seems far away. 

King James Version

11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
