Isaiah 59:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ And justice is pushed back,
    and righteousness stands afar;
for truth stumbles in the public square,
    and straightforwardness is unable to enter,
¹⁵ and truth is missing,
    and he who turns aside from evil is plundered.
And Yahweh saw,
    and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice
¹⁶ And he saw that there was no man,
    and he was appalled that there was no one who intercedes,
so^[a] his arm came to assist him,
    and his righteousness was what^[b] sustained him.
