¹³ transgressing and denying the Lord
    and turning away from following our God,
talking oppression and revolt,
    conceiving lying words and uttering them from the heart.^(A)

¹⁴ Justice is turned back,
    and deliverance stands at a distance,
for truth stumbles in the public square,
    and uprightness cannot enter.^(A)

⁷ Ah, you who turn justice to wormwood
    and bring righteousness to the ground!
