Isaiah 59:14-16
Amplified Bible

14 
Justice is pushed back,
And righteous behavior stands far away;
For truth has fallen in the city square,
And [a]integrity cannot enter.
15 
Yes, truth is missing;
And he who turns away from evil makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw it,
And it [b]displeased Him that there was no justice.
16 
He saw that there was no man,
And was amazed that there was no one to intercede [on behalf of truth and right];
Therefore His own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His own righteousness sustained Him.(A)

Isaiah 59:14-16
New International Version

14 So justice(A) is driven back,
    and righteousness(B) stands at a distance;
truth(C) has stumbled in the streets,
    honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(D) is nowhere to be found,
    and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
    that there was no justice.(E)
16 He saw that there was no one,(F)
    he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(G)
so his own arm achieved salvation(H) for him,
    and his own righteousness(I) sustained him.
