Isaiah 59:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ We have rebelled against you, rejected you, and refused to follow you. We have oppressed others and turned away from you. Our thoughts are false; our words are lies. ¹⁴ Justice is driven away, and right cannot come near. Truth stumbles in the public square, and honesty finds no place there. ¹⁵ There is so little honesty that those who stop doing evil find themselves the victims of crime.”

The Lord Prepares to Rescue His People

The Lord has seen this, and he is displeased that there is no justice.
