12 For our transgressions have multiplied before You,(A)
and our sins testify against us.(B)
For our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:(C)
13 transgression and deception against the Lord,
turning away from following our God,

conceiving and uttering lying words from the heart.
14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public square,
and honesty cannot enter.

    and righteousness(I) stands at a distance;
truth(J) has stumbled in the streets,
    honesty cannot enter.
