РСП (66 кн.)
Потому‐то и далек от нас суд, и правосудие не достигает до нас; ждем света, и вот, тьма, — озарения, и ходим во мраке.
РСП (юбил.)
Потому-то и далек от нас суд, и правосудие не достигает нас. Ждем света — и вот тьма, озарения — и ходим во мраке.
НРП
Поэтому правосудие далеко от нас, и праведность нас не достигает. Ждем мы света, но всё во тьме, ждем сияния, но ходим во мраке.
Заокская (Кулаков)
Потому и далека от нас справедливость, праведность нас не достигает; жаждем света — а кругом только тьма, сияния жаждем — а ходим в полном мраке;
СП (БЛ)
Исчезли доброта и справедливость, вокруг одна лишь тьма, в ней мы ожидаем света, надеясь, что он будет ярок, пока ж во мраке пребываем.
