\u201cNo one calls for justice; no one pleads a case with integrity.\u00a0 They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Isaiah 59:4 NIV<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless;\u00a0there is no one who does good, not even one.\u00a0 Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.\u00a0 The poison of vipers is on their lips.\u00a0 Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.\u00a0 Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.\u00a0 There is no fear of God before their eyes.\u201d\u00a0 Romans 3:11-18 NIV<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us.\u00a0 We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.\u201d\u00a0 Isaiah 59:9 NIV<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow long will you forget us, O Lord?\u00a0 How long will You hide Your face from us?\u00a0 How many days must we wrestle with our thoughts and have sorrow in our hearts?\u00a0 How long will our enemies triumph over us?\u00a0 Look upon us, O Lord our God, and give us an answer.\u00a0 Restore the Light to our eyes and save us from Death before our enemies can claim victory and our foes rejoice at our collapse.\u201d\u00a0 Psalm 13:2-4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
