Isaiah 59:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² Lord, you see all the bad things that we have done.
    Our many sins show that we are wrong.
We know about the wrong things that we have done.
    We agree that our sins are many.
¹³ We have turned against the Lord.
    We have refused to obey him.
We have chosen to be cruel to other people,
    and we have turned against the truth.
We think about the lies that we can tell,
    and we use them to deceive people.
¹⁴ Judges do not decide in a fair way.
    Nobody tries to do what is right.
There is no place for truth on the streets of our towns.
    Honest people have to leave.
