13 
Rebelling against and denying the Lord,
Turning away from [following] our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and muttering from the heart lying words.
14 
Justice is pushed back,
And righteous behavior stands far away;
For truth has fallen in the city square,
And [a]integrity cannot enter.
15 
Yes, truth is missing;
And he who turns away from evil makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw it,
And it [b]displeased Him that there was no justice.
