Isaiah 59:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 59:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
13 We rebelled against the Lord
and lied to him.
We turned away from our God
and left him.
We planned to hurt others
and to rebel against God.
From hearts filled with lies,
we talked about it and made our plans.
14 We pushed Justice away.
Fairness stands off in the distance.
Truth has fallen in the streets.
Goodness is not allowed in the city.
15 Loyalty is gone,
and people who try to do good are robbed.
The Lord looked and saw there was no justice.
He did not like what he saw.
Isaiah 59:13-15
New International Version
Isaiah 59:13-15
New International Version
13 rebellion(A) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(B) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(C)
uttering lies(D) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(E) is driven back,
and righteousness(F) stands at a distance;
truth(G) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(H) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(I)
