Commentary for Isaiah 59:11
נֶהֱמֶ֤ה כַדֻּבִּים֙ כֻּלָּ֔נוּ וְכַיּוֹנִ֖ים הָגֹ֣ה נֶהְגֶּ֑ה נְקַוֶּ֤ה לַמִּשְׁפָּט֙ וָאַ֔יִן לִֽישׁוּעָ֖ה רָחֲקָ֥ה מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
We all growl like bears, And mourn sore like doves; We look for right, but there is none; For salvation, but it is far off from us.
Rashi on Isaiah
we moan Heb. הָגֹה נֶהְגֶה, an expression of wailing.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
We roar, etc. We cry, but nobody comes to our assistance, nobody comes to do us justice.
