Isaiah 59:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Justice has been rebuffed
    and righteousness stands at a distance.
For truth stumbles in the public square
    and uprightness cannot enter.
¹⁵ Truth has disappeared,
    and those who turn from evil are terrorized.

When the Lord witnessed this, he was displeased
    that justice had ceased to exist.
¹⁶ He saw that no help was in sight,
    and he was outraged that no one sought to intervene.
Therefore, his own arm effected the victory,
    with his righteousness as his support.
