Isaiah 59:13-15
New King James Version
Isaiah 59:13-15
New King James Version
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering (A)from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a (B)prey.
The Redeemer of Zion
Then the Lord saw it, and [a]it displeased Him
That there was no justice.

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

and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(I)
