Isaiah 59:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 Lord, you see all the bad things that we have done.
Our many sins show that we are wrong.
We know about the wrong things that we have done.
We agree that our sins are many.
13 We have turned against the Lord.
We have refused to obey him.
We have chosen to be cruel to other people,
and we have turned against the truth.
We think about the lies that we can tell,
and we use them to deceive people.
14 Judges do not decide in a fair way.
Nobody tries to do what is right.
There is no place for truth on the streets of our towns.
Honest people have to leave.
Isaiah 59:12-14
New International Version
Isaiah 59:12-14
New International Version
12 For our offenses(A) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(B) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(C)
13 rebellion(D) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(E) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(F)
uttering lies(G) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(H) is driven back,
and righteousness(I) stands at a distance;
truth(J) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
