Isaiah 59:13-15
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 59:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 [a]Offending and (A)denying the Lord,
And turning away from our God,
Speaking (B)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and (C)uttering lying words from the heart.
14 (D)Justice is turned back,
And (E)righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
And one who turns aside from evil (F)makes himself a prey.
Now the Lord saw,
And it was [b]displeasing in His sight (G)that there was no justice.

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)

Isaiah 59:13-15
King James Version
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
