This sounds just like today’s World although it was written about Israel in Babylonian captivity.

History repeats itself

Isaiah 59:9-15

New Living Translation

9 

So there is no justice among us,
and we know nothing about right living.
We look for light but find only darkness.
We look for bright skies but walk in gloom.
10 We grope like the blind along a wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
Even at brightest noontime,
we stumble as though it were dark.
Among the living,
we are like the dead.
11 We growl like hungry bears;
we moan like mournful doves.
We look for justice, but it never comes.
We look for rescue, but it is far away from us.
12 For our sins are piled up before God
and testify against us.
Yes, we know what sinners we are.
13 We know we have rebelled and have denied the Lord.
We have turned our backs on our God.
We know how unfair and oppressive we have been,
carefully planning our deceitful lies.
14 Our courts oppose the righteous,
and justice is nowhere to be found.
Truth stumbles in the streets,
and honesty has been outlawed.
15 Yes, truth is gone,
and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.

The Lord looked and was displeased
    to find there was no justice.

    No Justice, this is the truth! And no humanity! Mankind didn’t learn anything from the past, even from the one that is not as far as the one you mentioned.

    Geçmişle bugünü kıyaslayan, insanlığın adalet arayışını ve toplumsal çalkantıları ele alan etkileyici bir metin., Günümüz dünyasındaki benzer durumlarla ilişkilendirilmiş. İnsanlık tarihi boyunca tekrar eden adaletsizlik, zorluklar ve umut arayışı güçlü bir şekilde vurgulanıyor. Derin ve düşündürücü bir bakış açısı! Teşekkür ederim. Saygılarımla.

    Thank you for sharing this powerful passage and reflection! 🙏

    Your observation is so poignant — the words of Isaiah resonate strongly, even in today’s world. The imagery of stumbling in darkness, seeking justice but finding none, and the stark contrast between truth and deceit is timeless.

    It’s a vivid reminder of the importance of integrity, righteousness, and moral courage, both individually and collectively.

    A powerful and deeply relevant passage — beautifully chosen and thoughtfully connected to our present times. Your reflection on Isaiah 59:9–15 reminds us how timeless Scripture can be, echoing truths that transcend generations. The imagery of darkness, blindness, and the longing for justice feels strikingly familiar in today’s world, where truth and righteousness often struggle to find their place. You’ve drawn an important parallel — one that calls for humility, self-reflection, and a renewed commitment to integrity and compassion. Thank you for sharing such a meaningful reminder of faith’s enduring voice through history. ✨

🇲🇲Dear all peace-loving people around the world🇲🇲

In the world, human beings are facing various problems. People who are full of greed, anger, and ignorance are seen to be fighting with each other in words and deeds. As the fighting continues, various problems such as civil wars, wars of aggression, and wars of aggression are occurring. As world peace is being destroyed, humans are facing unbearable problems. Innocent children and women are not getting the rights they deserve and deserve. I can't think of one thing every time. What is it? The United Nations. If we look at the responsibilities and duties of the United Nations, I think it is not suitable for solving the problems that are happening in the world today. In fact, the United Nations and the World Security Council, such an organization must rule the world, must be able to give orders, and must have various ways to obey orders. There must be no organization that can influence more than that organization. There should be experts from each country. They can even dominate the superpowers like the US, China, and Britain. Only then will global peace be achieved quickly. Now, if a country with power develops more militarily, economically, or socially than its own country, then powerful countries will jealously seek out enemies and wage war. Or they will attack with fighter jets. In this, innocent people are losing their lives. No one understands the value of a life. You should think about how to achieve global peace by controlling these. If the US continues to be the permanent president of the UN, world peace will never be achieved. If you think carefully, no one sees that they are working for the common good, but for their own benefit, for the benefit of their own country. The permanent president of the UN and the Security Council has rejected this, As a young Rohingya, I have come to realize that only by electing the president and secretary from among the countries in the world through a secret ballot system and governing the world fairly can we achieve global peace. The United Nations and the Security Council are organizations in which any country must govern, give orders, and make them obey their orders. For example, only when a defendant is tried in court can we hold the leaders of the countries in check and control them, can we achieve global peace smoothly. Otherwise, it will not be easy for powerful countries to use various excuses to end this war every year, every year, for the benefit of themselves and their countries. No country's leaders pay any attention to the words of the United Nations and the Security Council. If we look at it in practice, look at the Rohingya issue. Myanmar is a small country. Even that country has been under siege for 8 years. What action can be taken? Why is the UN and the Security Council Powerless? Without such Power, how can the organization bring about global peace? Everyone should think about it. Whether there is a veto or a strong one, all countries in the world can only achieve global peace if they are subject to the UN and the Security Council. Seek peace in the quiet embrace of nature. Peace is an indispensable need of the human race. It is not as if one person can kill another person, and it is as if one country can attack another country, but instead of trying to build peace, we must try to destroy the peace now, and the world is getting hotter and is on the verge of collapse. I especially appeal to all the world experts to urgently try to bring about peace in all parts of the world. Mr, Noor Muhamed Arkhan Rohingya Youth Myanmar
