Isaiah 59:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ Those deeds are rebellion and treachery against the Lord.
We turn back from following our God.
We incite oppression and apostasy.
We conceive and mutter deceitful words from our hearts.
¹⁴ Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away,
for truth stumbles in the city square,
and honesty cannot enter it.
¹⁵ The truth is missing,
and anyone who turns from evil makes himself prey.^[a]
The Lord looked and saw something evil—
there was no justice.
